A result of too much debt, underwater mortgages, unemployment, and sensible deleveraging. So if housing didn't implode but never went anywhere but up.. A result of too much debt would be mitigated underwater mortgages would be rare.. unemployment would be mitigated.. US has a culture of needing 'stuff' ... a gluttony of consumerism.. lest I cast stones.. up here also... It's more like one leg of the stool IMO... not a result.. consuming ever bigger homes is consumption.. no ? only leg... of course not... Meanwhile... take heart... looks like the US is awash in energy... more headwinds for te greens coming to be sure...
