John, "Hasn't this already going on for several years and yet here we sit at 4% on the 10 year and more capital than ever flowing into real estate from overseas." Sure, no crisis at present, but looking forward would you rather invest in a growing economy like China, or a paper one like the U.S., all things being equal. To maintain the flow of funds then, yields have to rise. Already treasuries are losing their appeal overseas, and that's a critical source of operating funds for the government. Rates must be forced up, or we will be in a worse fix than we are going to be anyway.
