Greenspan's Body Count: Lynda Clark and Gregory Bellows commit suicide before evictions

CBS3 in Philadelphia:
On March 5, deputies arriving to post an eviction notice on Lynda Clark's South Philadelphia home found she had hanged herself.

"It's devastating for everyone. We're not even family members and it's just devastating to us," Captain Albert Innaurato of the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office said.

Less than three weeks later, owner Gregory Bellows shot and killed himself shortly before deputies arrived to evict him from his Roxborough home.

Court records show Clark, whose debt topped $100,000, lost her home at a Sheriff's Sale last October. Bellows, owing more than $240,000, had his home sold at a Sheriff's Sale in 2008.

Remember the good old days when you put 20% down and paid less than 3x annual income for a house with a 30-year-fixed rate mortgage, and you slowly built equity by paying off the mortgage and as houses slowly appreciated 1% to 3% a year? Back in those days, if you got into financial trouble, you could sell your house and get out with equity and dignity. Well, those days are long gone thanks to Alan Greenspan. Now suicide is the most attractive option for many in Greenspan's housing crash.

Drudge headlines this "SHOCK: 2 Homeowners Commit Suicide Ahead Of Eviction...", but is there anything shocking about this? This is still a slow month for Alan Greenspan. SHOCK: Sunny Day In San Diego...

Greenspan's Body Count stands at 132.

Thank you for calling it Greenspan's housing crash. I will never, ever forget watching him on the news say that real estate NEVER loses value and wanting to throw my breakfast through the tv. Not only does he have a bodycount...family can no longer buy houses. Only investors with cash...no matter how much we outbid them. It's an-f-ing disaster out there...with no end in sight. May God rest Lynda and Greg's souls.

Greenspan??? What the hell are you people in Philly smoking? He's long gone.

I thought your messiah was going to fix all this. What happened? I guess the community organizer hasn't come through.

Happy Super Tuesday!
