If I do, I plan on renting the first few years, but to buy a house without that "bubble" bursting, would be extremely difficult.
That's probably one of the more short-sighted comments that show almost no knowledge of economics.

I wonder how the tens of millions of unemployed people in America (an amount equal to the entire population of Canada, in fact) who lost their jobs AND all equity in their homes feel about being able to buy a cheaper house. Fact is there won't be a collapse in one sector that won't end up making everything bad for you.
