Katrina and the housing bubble
Isn't Katrina going to slow the deflation of the housing bubble (via Palmer)? Hundreds of thousands of homes and apartments have been removed from the housing stock, and construction resources are going to be diverted to the Gulf Coast, increasing the pricing of new housing. I also distrust an economist who uses the sort of graph that Gross does with his "X marks the spot" chart.
