We often get a laugh out of Dr. Housing Bubble, whose blog is subtitled ‘How I Learned to Love So Cal and Forget the Housing Bubble.’

We particularly like this entry -- in a riff on the hillarious Bud Light ads (‘Real Men of Genius’), he gives us ‘Real Homes of Genius,’ and spotlights this gem in Compton -- 588 Square Feet of urban glory for less than $300,000!

He points out the house sold for $106,000 in the Summer of 2003, which begs the question: has Compton real estate really tripled in value in four years?
