A "weak" US dollar should encourage foreigners to buy property here, source operations here etc.<br />(I dislike the term "weak," it leads people to conflate a "strong" exchange rate with a strong economy, or an exchange rate good for the USA).<br /><br />Why real estate collapsed is a puzzle, perhaps sparked by a lack of Fed vigor inBenjamin Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001038338873263877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-24646863052116448872011-01-25T21:39:15.396-08:002011-01-25T21:39:15.396-08:00Trace that is.Trace that is.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438039963046848511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-1426003105619623542011-01-25T21:38:43.671-08:002011-01-25T21:38:43.671-08:00Benjamin,
