What lies at the heart of the bubble burst and current fall-out is a culture obsessed with living beyond its means. Many bought more house than they needed - and an industry blinded by dollar signs in its eyes let them - not just to keep up with the Joneses, but outdo them. I just finished a new novel that satirizes all this: Florida's current real estate market woes. Written by an industry insider and painfully funny. It's called "Ocean Raton" - you should check it out. Agree with the assertion, though my feeling is the market problems extend far beyond developers.
