The housing crisis

[Ban my account ffs!]

I wonder how many people here really felt the effects of the crisis through losing a home, declaring bankruptcy, or knowing a close friend or relative who did.

We aren't really having a housing crisis here.  Yes, prices have stopped rising and there are fewer buyers than there were, but nobody is losing their houses.

We're so poor here that we don't notice ups and downs.. we're just always "down".
