(...) What's been going on, in a word, is immigration. A growing
percentage of Americans are foreign-born. And they are spreading from
traditional hot spots such as California to every corner of the United
States.
A news report on the local Chicago stations this morning said that a
study just done concluded that 50% of the housing purchased in the last
ten years in the Chicago area was purchased by immigrants. And of
course the more sales, the more housing prices are stable. Thank the
recent immigrants for part of your house's appreciation over the last
ten years.
