Cool site flex. Love the links to other blogs too. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

I've been hearing doomsday senarios regarding housing bubbles and higher ed for a long time. Nothing's happened so far and I'm doubting anything will happen. From what I've seen (S&L scandals,dotcom bust)bad things happen, politicians and people get really mad, laws that may or may not work get passed and the country just keeps truckin along.

I don't know if housing will crash or if college will become unaffordable to all but a few people, but I have a feeling in any case, we'll just keep truckin along.

Keep up the good work.
