'What we need is more business investment and new job creation.'

why would we get that? the malinvestments from the previous credit-induced boom still linger - until they are cleared out, which could take decades due to massive fiscal deficit spending and ultra-easy monetary policy, all we'll get is the occasional cyclical bounce.

'How high do you think rates would have to go to hurt housing prices?'

i would contend that the housing bust has probably already begun, and that not even another leg down in rates to new all time lows will be enough to save the sector. the portents of an imminent bust are all in evidence, beginning with falling prices at the high end, record highs in mortgage delinquencies, and incessant talk about a 'supply shortage', just as builders have gone really overboard with new developments and the market has reached saturation with 70% of households pretending to own a home. this is highly reminiscent of the fabled 'DRAM shortage' of the year 2000.
