Even having paid off the mortgage, people will be in for a shock. I already pay more in taxes for my house than I used to pay for a 2 bdr apt 20 years ago. At 4% inflation of taxes, my prop taxes will be up to $800 per month in 20 years, and with maintenance, I'll still have to pay $1000 per month to live there. Methinks there will be a vast exodus to areas without a massive infrastructure to support.

<the same demographic that drove the equity bubble with retirement cash, has now turned their sights on housing as their "real" retirement nest egg...>

When are they going to turn their sights on GOLD??? -gg-
