Subject: Warren Buffett: We Need 13-Year Olds To Start Cohabiting To Clean Up The Housing Overhang Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:16 am
A few quick bullet points on Warren Buffett's thoughts on housing:
* "The only way you clean up an excess inventory is to have more demand than supply for a while." * "We produced 2 million housing units a year; we created 1.3 million households... The only way to clean that up, oh well there's one way, you can start getting 13 year olds to start co-habiting and create more households that way, and I'm sure we'd get a lot of volunteers among 13 year olds." * "A lot of the housing problem is behind us, the commercial real estate problem is not behind us."
