Participantsvelte: You won’t have to look very far to see what the 1930s produced: Mussolini, Hitler and the Second World War.
Hitler came to power on Germany’s economic woes (and their resentment over the Versailles Treaty). Totalitarianism (a term Mussolini coined) and authoritarianism were both products of governments struggling with the worldwide depression.
FDR’s New Deal program was modeled on Mussolini’s policies in Italy (which is why he is saddled with the socialist sobriquet so often).
I’m very interested to see what this does to the EU and China. The EU in terms of whether this crisis will fracture that alliance and China in the sense of how far they’ll return to their authoritarian roots.

ParticipantTG: Well put. Well reasoned, too, and that is what has been missing for about the last five years or so: Reason.
People lost their minds and actually came to believe that their houses would replace their jobs and savings and somehow even provide retirement income for them.
I think that the state of the economy (state and national) has injected a sobering new reality into nearly everyone’s life and people are starting to see things the way they really are, or will become shortly. The example you used of your home’s previous owners illustrates that pretty clearly. Should have bought a $200k home, but bought a $650k home and learned the hard way.

Participantsdr: There was a posting on another thread (by SDR, I think) that mentioned that downtown condo pricing remains fairly sticky and is still high.
Does that track with your experiences? I ask because you mention the 2001/2002 price above. Is that becoming more common, or is the example above a one-off?
Just curious.
