So Blease, what of my comment above,...is the unregulated market perfect and thus won't inherently precipitate its own economic collapse/implode (as history has repeatedly shown via growing income inequality/debt etc.)?? There is however at times a dysfunctional relationship (as with oil and water) between statist planning goals which seek stability (e.g. social or subsidized housing) and that of the volatile/chaotic/unpredictable market based house pricing regime in our mixed (schizophrenic) economy.
