Populations are growing, people there have jobs, there is no more land and financing is easy. Now values in many of these places are so stretched but that is a different matter. It'll be a different kind of crash in older modest ranch houses close to town in LA or NYC than where there is too much new supply coming on board controlled by speculators.

Biggest FCB custodial one week buy in history (weekly average over last 52 weeks is $3.35 billion): $15.5 billion (equal to 9% of all custodial purchases in the last year), plus a $1.15 billion Fed monetization. Explains the bond rally in spades.
