>It's easy to lose sight of the fact that many Americans still have good jobs and good incomes in light of all that is going on and going DOWN now, isn't it?

The question is how many of these people are there and how many houses do they need?

The average American looking for a $500K house probably
have the following qualifications:
1) 4-years of State U education with a 3.0 GPA
2) 10 years of working experience
3) holds a senior engineer/accountant/analyst or lower to middle management level position

And they are easily replaced by:
1) imports from India
2) hard working and ambitous fresh grads

If the housing market didn't go through this madness, the $500k price level is reserved for established doctors, lawyers or VPs or directors.

Most of the people I know won't make the same salary in their next job if they should lose the current one.
