“Wanna know how much a 500 sf 1 bedroom in Tokyo costs today in 2008??? Over a million U.S. dollars.”
Or approximately half of what it cost 15 years ago.
5:03 – And NYC will absorb these people how? Jobs are not going to magically appear for them.
“Lake Mead, a key source of water for millions of people in the southwestern United States, could go dry by 2021, a new study finds.
The study concludes that natural forces such as evaporation, changes wrought by global warming and the increasing demand from the booming Southwest population are creating a deficit from this part of the Colorado River system.”
Wonder what major cities will be able to absorb these people when the water runs out?
Gas is skyrocketing, water is evaporating in the south and in the west, everyone is concerned about their footprint…

Wanna know how much a 500 sf 1 bedroom in Tokyo costs today in 2008???
Over a million U.S. dollars.

No one cares anymore.
If prices fall from 3 million to 2.5 n(which would be HUGE!) you STILL won’t buy one, so what’s your point?
4:29 – If you are waiting for the impending crash so you can finally afford a prime Park slope Brownstone for $500K you might as well go back to sleep. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
If you think the worst is over, then you are in for a very, very rude awakening.
why are people so jealous on this site? get over It. If you did not buy a house yet , then go buy one.
