  • Just How Terrible Is Housing as an Asset Class? Roubini Weighs In [View article]
    The idea that a home is a great investment is one of these myths propagated by the government and the real estate industry. The government has a vested interest in people owning homes because people who own homes don't launch a revolution against the government. In case you are interested I did a post a while back on housing prices in Chicago (where I live) and what has really happened with them. It's just not a great investment. The story is the same for other cities as well.
