The housing bubble and copying
Easy (and pleasurable) though it is to kick the bankers and the politicians who loosened the regulatory framework, it's not like you and I get off scott free.
Like other aspects of the current financial situation, the UK's housing bubble is partly (at least) the result of us copying each other ("self-certified-buy-to-let-better-than-any-pension-safe-as-houses etc")
Nice piece by John Gapper here in the FT that explains this
