<< Its going to get real interesting at that point. >>

Somethings gotta give .. there just won't be enough
money to pay all those retired civil servants ..
Heck NYC has about 8 school janitors that made +$200,000
last year ( no kidding !! ) .. I can just imagine what
their pensions are going to look like ..

Government on all levels .. local,state, and federal is
just going to have to make some hard choices and reduce
headcounts .. If they ( politicians ) try to do it
on the backs of the taxpayers instead .. I think you'll
see a taxpayer revolt in the form of a mass exodus from
the suburbs to rural/small town America .. just give me
Wi-Fi broadband I-Net access and I'm gone <gg> Larry ????

someone mark this post and compare in a "few months" to see if there is a "bust in home buying"....i say barring some catastrophe of epic proportions, not a chance!!

JMHO

three months so far, building permits today stronger than expected, even with starts slightly below forecast...last month's starts were revised up though

add it up any way you want, the housing market remains strong overall

i guess that "bubble" hasn't quite burst yet, hmmm...how many months is a "few" anyway? LOL
