Sort of like the old saw about the average worth of people in the room after Bill Gates walks in.
The "average" standard of living after the bubble bursts may be something like we have now, only 98% of the people will be unhappy with theirs.
Maybe about as unhappy as the French in the 1780's.

Why not look at what happens in housing markets where appreciation has stopped.

Even in the bubble markets, there will soon be a time when affordability hits the wall even at present rates! Unless we see wage inflation in the very near future and pretty much across the board, this thing is going to pop and I don't think it will happily meet in the middle.
