"In the past three years, projects with apartments, condos and town homes increased 533 percent, while the number of subdivisions with large homes dropped 21 percent."

All signs of overpopulation. Too many breeders out there.

It was always dependent upon cheap and abundant energy, but nothing lasts forever. Kunstler pwns BTW.

Yeah, people will be waiting in line to get back in the ghetto.

Wealthy people use inflation to their advantage. For example go borrow a half million and buy a house. You have to pay it back but you get to pay it back over a few decades. So you are spending that half million today in todays dollars and paying it back with worthless future dollars. I bought a house so I''m hoping for a lot of inflation.

Why do you spastic libs think that all Republicans reside in the south. It was the southern DEMOCRATS that were against the civil rights act of 1965, lead by a certain Tennesee senator with the last name of Gore.

DIE, wow that is so tollerant of you. LOL

What can you expect when we have Central Bankers at the helm. these people run the nation along with the Re pubs and Dem''s making laws in there favour.

We were warned of this from the forefathers and you didn''t listen. The Government has robbed you and yet you say nothing of them and you vote the very people in that are against you. You should read
www.lewrockwell.com this site will show you why your wealth is going to the dogs.
You wealth in paper dollars is a lie and the tax on a tax called inflation is eating your wealth.
you can blame the politicians but i assure you that your to blame cause you voted them in and wont look at the truth

Jesus, folks, snap out of it! Wah Wah Wah! This article is speculative BS! And top it off, we have the McSame/Bush''s fault crowd that like to make their cry..... YOU LIBERAL PUKES MAKE ME SICK! Go cry a river! America will always survive!

This recession and mortgage crisis is the failed policies of the Republicons, Bush/McCain Administration.

So zoe, one can assume that you would attach just as much blame to the tech bubble bursting and the recession of 2000 on the failded policies of Clinton/gore right?
No, I did not think so. I entertain reading your post outlining specific, and I mean specifc actions that Bush took solely on his own that has caused what is historically a cyclical event.
BTW, did you hear that the value of farmland has increased more since 2000, than in any other time in history? In fact where I live it is almost double what it was 8 years ago. Wonder why that is?

Timdgrim: the suburban housing model was a bad idea, unsustainable. It''s not sad to me to see the U.S. finally rethinking that.

There is a new option besides moving back to the city. (There really is not enough room for everyone). Suburbanites can work remotely, either from home as a telecommuter or from a Remote Office Center. Remote Office Centers are a fairly new concept. A Remote Office Center leases individual offices, internet and phone systems to workers from multiple companies in shared centers located around the suburbs. Workers can find information (including locations) about Remote Office Centers at a free web site:

http://www.remoteofficecenters.com

Moving everyone back to the city is not a viable option for most of America. Rather than move people to the workplace, it makes more sense to move the workplace to the people. Many people can work remotely as long as they have decent facilities available to them. Not everyone can work remotely, but those who can not, will benefit from less people on the road and by lower demand for fuel because of all the remote workers.

We need to start another war somewhere and ramp up the military/industrial complex. That will add a ton of jobs! and legalize prostitution eh....

[whitemale08]

..."smart growth", "...next to job centers"? huh?

You must be talking about moving closer to Walmart...lol

You''re joking, right?...lol

Decline, maybe, but there''s a lot of room for change in suburbia in response to economic changes. If a suburb is associated with a job center, or a few job centers, then bus transit is an option. Telework is an option. Lifestyle choices more familiar to rural people could become more common in suburbia -- like going to a full-service grocery store once a month rather than once a day. Gardening and canning. And bringing commerce to suburbia could help -- a corner grocery, a small hardware store -- services people need, just as they need schools close by.

Sad, that Our American way of life is about to change drastically and a lot of people just don''t see it coming. Greed, Overpopulation, Bad Immigration Laws, and an overall moral decaying culture has had it''s day. Too bad, soon we will get to see first hand how the rest of the world lives.
