There were way to many people getting loans that had no business getting one.

What I see locally is that young people don't want to start out in a "starter" house and work their way up. They also tend to fill the driveway of the house they can't afford with motorized toys they can't afford.

In nearly four decades of dealing with JQ Public it has been my finding that all to many people spend just beyond their means.

I could not agree with you more, We built a new home
downsized in 2002.The estate has both young and old ,I could not believe the amount of homes that went up for sale in the past 18 months. They are being Bought up By people like my Husband and I Downsizer’s, But we will miss the kids Playing around the Neighbor Hood. I did not want a gated community, now I wonder did we make the Correct decision.?
