RE:"Today, a two week interruption in the supply of credit or tightening of lending standards would have the same effect as that railway disaster."

The government will fight to the last not to let that happen.
For the same reason we will never see a flat across the board tax without deductions.
The RE industry would scream that any level tax system would trash the RE market, which it would. Unless of course all other cap gains taxes were eliminated.

I agree. In a real estate bubbles, or other market bubbles, almost anything which causes an interruption of the mania can potentially result in it's collapse.

But once all the potential buyers are in the pen, there's nothing left to sustain the stampede - so it ends even without a visible cause.
