Let me rephrase that

Remember some of the overly optimistic things people said about the housing market at the end of the boom and beginning of the downturn? The Surviving the Crash blog has a video comparing these nuggets to quotes by experts right before and after the stock market crash of 1929. It's "Housing Bubble vs. Great Depression."

Thanks to Baltimore Housing Bubble for pointing it out.

Seen any other housing-related videos -- depressing, cheery or just plain funny? I'm all ears.
