POPSAmerican housing: Map of misery The Economist looks at Ben Bernanke's new color-coded map of where the housing crisis is hitting. Looks like some regions are quite a bit less stressed than others. Hey! That reminds me of a look that somebody (wonder who?) here at Forbes.com did on America's Recession-Proof Cities: http://www.forbes.com/realestate/2008/04/29/cities-recession-places-forbeslife-cx_jz_0429realestate.html Our results line up nicely with these (think it's because of the overwhelming role housing prices are playing in the economy?) with the notable exception of San Jose.
