Out of school for thirty-five years now, grasshopper. Retired and living in the lap of luxury for nearly six. It's rarefied air up here alright. Not so many have what it takes to get here.
They do recognize bubbles. This one claims that the San Diego housing is not in a bubble using the 2002-2006 bubble as reference. If one uses the real estate cycles previous to 2002-2006 as reference, the current cycle lies well outside those boundaries, perhaps by 15 percent.

Some of these assets absolutely must be bubbles unless we are to believe that 7-12 household income is the new normal for Real Estate.

Japan was in a bubble. Dollar-yen exchange rate was halved in a short period of time of about 3-5 years through joint intervention among the central banks. It attracted foreign investment which drove up asset prices. The combination of the weak US dollar and high domestic wages and asset prices eventually caused manufacturing to move offshore in the early 90's.
