So you're ragging on a decade that you barely can remember and even that is from the perspective of a preschooler for the most part?

Do see the result of your fixed rate low interest guarantees mortgages

Buying a home in the 80s must have sucked... What was it, like 12% rates?
I was in the mortgage business in the 1980s. When I got in rates were 13% and falling. They had been as high as 17%. The pool of people that could qualify then was much smaller. Rates continued to drop and by the end of the decade were in the 6.5-7.5% range IIRC.
The interest rate on the first house I purchased (in 1986) was 9%.

No way you can tell me...it's easier to buy a house now without a first home buyer
If you qualify for a home then it is pretty damn easy. If you don't qualify for a loan, it's probably because you can't afford a home.
It is so inexpensive to buy now versus then that it is a better environment for buying homes now.

I remember plenty of it. I'm allowed an opinion.

I was in high school in the 80s and freaking loved every minute of it. I loved that cell phones were not prevalent. My friends and I could do stupid teenage shite and no one felt compelled to tweet it, facebook it, snapchap it or youtube it.

This. Dreaux is an idiot with a talking point apparently.

Ok..I'll concede the housing. But I'm right about everything else 
Hell...banking is so screwed up now for small businesses...and don't tell me I'm wrong...been in the family business for 37 years. Banks are a constant pain in our arse
