After Seeing The House of Sand and Fog, I Will Never Buy a Repossessed House

As I was rac­ing to work this morn­ing I heard a bit on the radio this morn­ing about the gov­ern­ment sell­ing repos­sessed houses and how you could get them at super deals, because the gov­ern­ment isn’t into sell­ing real estate and you could get an incred­i­ble deal on some for­mer drug dealer’s house or some­thing. I men­tion this because if you’ve ever seen The House of Sand and Fog, you would prob­a­bly not want to buy a repos­sessed house. Every­thing that could go wrong for the peo­ple that buy Jen­nifer Connelly’s house goes wrong, mainly, every mem­ber of the fam­ily dies. One is shot and killed by the mar­ried police offi­cer boyfriend of Con­nelly, one is poi­soned, and another suf­fo­cates himself.

As far as hap­pily ever after, this is not. So why take the chance you’ll either be shot, poi­soned or suf­fo­cated and even think about buy­ing a repos­sessed house?
