the next big thing: less

When I started this blog, one of my main themes was the great housing bubble.

A lot of people denied there was a bubble until catastrophe last year. Now we are in a long period of readjusting prices to incomes and returning to realistic, sustainable prices.

In other words, the housing bubble is so last year. But I have a new theme.

The new theme is less. After decades of more, more, MORE! I predict that the USA will now move into a similar period of less, less, less.

Less what? Just about everything.

There is less fresh water, for instance. The rivers are lower, the aquifers are lower, and places like California are now openly saying that if they dont desalinate the ocean water they wont survive.

Less is the new more and a central theme in our lives is going to be adjusting to living with less.
