Running Out Of Affordable Homes
Bubbles are self-defeating. Their success is what eventually kills them. The same is true for cycles. Take the urbanization cycle for example… As a population urbanizes, people get wealthier. But more affluent urbanites have fewer kids and that slows future demographic growth for the next generation. Real estate is the latest bubble/cycle to prove this point… At first, […]

Great Graphic: Dollar’s Role
