Has that ever panned out in practice? I mean, has a city economy in the US or somewhere else in the world ever popped because of too high housing prices?

It might be about to!

The USA has never had housing priced at such a high number of hours of work before.

We’ve always gotten this high and then housing would crash, the jobs would leave causing housing to fall, not the other way around.
