>>For one thing, the H1B immigration group is no longer relevant - companies just outsource those jobs to remote locations now. Thats a huge group of immigrants right there.

They always make those growth projections at the top of cycles, I find.<<<

hi lizzie..

i think the diminishing level of H1B immigration would further my hypothesis...

the immigration (legal and illegal) will continue but unless there is a substantial number of well educated high income earners in that group....the drag on the overall economy...welfare, medical costs....rises. along with the demand for low cost housing...<gee what's that?>

...PS a real estate segment on CNBC said San Francisco is 17% overvalued and NYC is 45% overvalued! Anybody hear that? Interesting....

So San Francisco is the better buy.
