Cab drivers, cabana boys, administrative assistants, c-store stock clerks, and, yes, globally lauded travelling minstrels you never heard of own the “housing crisis” conversation. “The bottom” will likely be called with more precision by an avid reader of the New York Post’s Page Six than by any ivory tower economist who knows how things should work but never knows how things do work.
