About this cartoon: This is particularly aimed at Southern California, but applies to other regions as well: After the housing bubble of the early- to mid 2000s burst, and the hosuing market collapsed amid waves of foreclosures, we seem to have learned nothing. A similar bubble is happening, and while junk loans are not so prevalent, investors, speculators and flippers are snatching up houses in all-cash deals, freezing out many would-be home buyers and sending prices soaring again.
