I voted "don't understand" because I don't completely understand it. There's so many factors and how they interact is some what confusing.
I remember talking with my father about housing and credit a long time ago. He told me he bought his first two or three houses for cash. Said it wasn't uncommon years ago for people to save up and buy a house. He also talked about families only needed one income to survive.
I think these two factors, over time, have contributed to our current situation, IMO.
