7 fold increase in population in Los Angeles in 8 years.
20 fold increase in real estate valuation in San Diego within 10 years. This is incredible. LOL.

Until now i have been hoping that the real estate bubble would burst.
But now after reading those statistics i think it would be kind of fun to watch something like this unfold in NY metro area.
Maybe the population of New York City would increase from 7 to 15 million. Maybe the price of a co-op would triple from here. 2 million realtors, 2 million mortgage brokers, 2 million speculators. 200 year mortgages. All economic activity except sales and mortgage business would cease. Even pizza makers would quit making pizza and "sit" on some property "making" $2000 /day without getting out of bed.
But then, where would the newly rich population spend all their real estate profits ? They couldn't even buy a pizza. Unless somebody would start selling it for $300 a pie.
