And given our 12%+ unemployment rate I don't see things getting better anytime soon.</I>If you mean that the drop in housing prices itself is unfortunate, I would disagree. The prices have been unsustainable, unaffordable to most Portlanders, out of line with well-established historic norms -- clearly a bubble. Why should we lament it any more than, say, the collapse in oil prices, with that event's many winners and losers?<br /><br />I'd say the entire parabolic unstable period in the housing market has been unfortunate. Many people were hurt in both the increasing and decreasing ends of the cycle, and both the inflation and the deflation together were necessary to help cause to the wider economic meltdown.Dantenoreply@blogger.com
