In 89 there was an over supply of units. A recession that put people out of work starting in the rust belt and sweeping across the country east to west. Consumers just stopped buying, period.
My state California seen a marked drop in population. As I recall a 0 growth or close to it. Unemployment was in the 11% range and higher. When it hit there was no mistaking we were in it up to our @ssess.
This recession is no comparison. There's no large amounts of migration to find work as there was in 89. Moneys comparatively cheap and jobs are there for those willing to take the pay offered.
There's no comparison, the first was a financial catastrophe personally the latter hardly a bother.
