House prices need not 'recover' at all. Workers must be able to buy say decent three-bed house at $30K-$50K, first of all. So the 'bottom' should be the norm.

Right.
But does that mean banks/Government will not make as much profit and the taxpayer will have more quality time.
The wife may even take a part time job and nurture.love. and educate their children in finance and so forth.

But damn our Banks and Government keep making those silly mistakes that are making things harder and harder to acheive these basic needs.
If only we had someone that knew what they were doing in power.

Hey we can elect someone else. WE HAVE A CHOICE don't we?
We somehow just keep getting it wrong, don't we?

I have a great idea.
Maybe if we made the same mistakes as mentioned above we could be as powerful and dominant.

Oh silly me. I am not making any sense.

So then decades of stagnating property values, followed by falling real income and falling prices?

Should sound familiar, JU?
