Interesting read : Kunstler predicts this phenomenon in his book The End of Surburbia however for different reasons.
When people were starting to use their home equity as a piggy bank that definitely was not a good sign.
Its funny how people are so ignorant of the multiple impending problems we face going forward and how the optimists bury their head in the sand denying there is a problem.
One thing that has to go is that suburban requirement of a luscious green grass yard you have to mow weekly and the homeowner association nazi police gets on your case if it isn't to their standard. It is so antiproductive IMO and which oddly enough was one of the focal points on the start of the jihadist movement. Whats wrong with creating an edible landscape?
At least I moved from that disaster waiting to happen 18 months ago.
