A glut of repossessed houses dampens prices, and not just by adding to the supply of homes for sale. Thanks to high commodity prices, vacant homes in poorer neighbourhoods are quickly stripped of their aluminium sidings and copper fixtures. Marginal houses become uninhabitable; crime rises; whole areas are blighted.

回收房屋的积压拉低了房价，这不仅仅是因为增加了现有市场出售房的数量；由于基本商品的高价格，位于较穷区空屋的铝框和铜质装置很快就被拆去，原来勉强可住的屋子被拆至无法入住；不但犯罪增加，整个社区都被拖进泥潭。

Sophia Loren was right in front of me - she's a foot taller than I am, not counting the poofy hair. She walked elegant ly, like a giraffe on the African savannah, holding the flag on her shoulder. I jogged behind ---- on my tiptoes, holding the flag on my extended arm, so that my head was actually under the damn flag. All the cameras were, of course, on Sophia. That was fortunate for me, because in most press photos I appear too, although often between Sophia's legs. A place where most men would love to be. Applause
