Interesting that two years before the main crash was triggered, this article went down and identified almost all of points that led to it from a housing perspective by looking at one of the more extreme housing markets in the US. - Prices disconnected from fundamentals - Risky "home equity loans" - Extreme use of leverage - Surplus of speculators - Trouble at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac I wonder whether similar "canary in the coal mine" approaches could be used for other large market or societal shifts in the US?
