Pre Crisis Hindsight

This link provides access to the Chicago Fed page where there are links to download various powerpoint presentations. Each one has different graphs of the mid west and provides different data from 2007 and later. I found them really interesting as you can look at the state of Michigan pre-crisis. When you compare these graphs to ones post crisis you can see the correlation between foreclosures today and high cost sub prime lending in the past.

  1. Wow even in 2008 pockets of the east side of the state already look like they were fairly vacant, compared to the west side especially. While looking at the USPS vacancy maps, I wonder what "other" means?
