Exactly. Property values might not continue to grow at such a high rate but they aren't going to decrease by 30%. That's ludicrous.

It just happened! Not more than 7-8 years ago!

It happened in many, many markets across the US and the world.

We just saw it happen!

That was part of a massive, global housing bubble popping. A better point of reference is the dot.com crash (the worst of which was a local event) and the worst you saw, at least in decent areas, were valuations that stopped climbing.
