Portrait of a housing bust

Reminds me of an excellent trio of recent Florida real estate journalism… In Harper’s, from Paul Reyes, Paradise swamped: The boom and bust of the middle-class dream and Bleak houses: Digging through the ruins of the mortgage crisis. And from George Packer in the New Yorker we have
The Ponzi State: Florida’s foreclosure disaster. All three are pretty darn good.
