Help out the corrupt Mr. Lereah - it's gotta be tough hearing 'housing crash housing crash housing crash' all day before you go to bed, and you know you've lost your credibility, your job, the respect of your peers, your gains on your investment condo portfolio, and HP's love.
One HP'er proposed the following - a good start for sure
And I agree with the man. Why use the word "crash" to describe the current housing market. There are many less-objectionable alternatives, such as:
break down
calamity
cataclysm
catastrophe
collapse
crackup
crisis
disaster
failure
fiasco
insolvency
rupture
tragedy
wreck

Help out the corrupt David Lereah - we can't say "crash" anymore (can we get a 'pretty please'?). So come up with a new adjective for housing crash

i like clusterfuck or shitstorm.
"Tango Uniform" is my fav. Always been partial to the phonetic alphabet.
take a look at the employment chart.
There are fewer drywall nailers and granite countertop installers as well - about 50,000 less than in January when the housing market was still booming.

jewed out housing market sounds accurate and good to me.
call it banana if you want. you can't hide from the truth. when no one is buying for months or years, when you're in a verge of BK of foreclosure, crash, correction or banana, don't make a difference. choices of words will not in any way mitigate the situation.

It's even got a good visual and sounds like prices will go straight to the GROUND which is exactly what we need to clean up this mess.
Redmondjp-
Like the concept of "buy new car, get a house for free".
Also "Would you like a house with that?"
"McMeltdown" is good too.
Assume you're from Seattle area. Seattle Times finally fessing up to the "slowdown" locally.
Great news for those of us who live here.
