Talk:Timeline of the 2000s United States housing bubble

Image(s) for article.
Image of BSC Fund Manager Tannin Perp Walk has WP:UNDUE since it is the only image in the article. This is the article about the Timeline of the United States housing bubble not the arrest of Matthew Tannin. The image is only about one person and a single event of the time line not the whole timeline. This was not a concern when it was one photo of many in United States housing bubble a larger article. The image should be 1) replaced with an image that better represents whole time line or 2) reduce in size, moved closer to the June 19 and supplemented with images that show the other events in the timeline. I would prefer seeing an image that shows the run up and the fall in housing prices. Halgin (talk) 14:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge to Subprime crisis impact timeline
This timeline has much of same info as the other but not as up to date. I'm going to add anything important from here to there. I like this format and will adopt there. Otherwise I think this just ends up being an outdate page that will just get deleted. Carol Moore 22:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)Carolmooredc


 * This is an encyclopedia and not a newspaper. Perhaps you wish to delete our article on WWII? The bubble is over. It is not suposed to be kept "up to date". WAS 4.250 (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Good point. But making it clear in a short intro to explain what a housing bubble is and that this one is over, would help the average reader who passes by. Anyway, I have no problem with removing the merge note. Carol Moore 14:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)Carolmooredc


 * I realized that some of the early material in the subprime crisis impact timeline actually belongs here and so moved it over and then will trim the other article down and make clearer link to this page. Probably will add here a few more items from 2007-2008 from that timeline too. But enough for now! :-) Carol Moore 23:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Carolmooredc

Effect of U.S. Tax Code
We need the dates for limiting interest deduction to mortgages, the one-time capital gains exclusion for those over 50 followed by any age followed by any number of main residences/ These pumped up the bubble, encouraging people to buy more and more expensive houses and stay fully mortgaged.

Home Prices
On February 22, 2018, I added the median and average home prices on January from 1970 to 2010, sourced at http://www.census.gov/const/uspricemon.pdf. Before I added this, there was no median and average home prices from (year to year) in a timeline about home prices. It's odd that they didn't mention exactly what the median and average home prices were to show the changes. They are core cause/effect of the housing bubble and crash. Readers and researchers like to see both the numbers adjusted for inflation and numbers before adjusted for inflation. Some might delete these numbers for being raw data. As long as the numbers support the article or timeline, then the article is missing something without the numbers. Numbers are the foundation and proof for everything. Every chart on Wikipedia is raw data. I write this because some people deleted these same home prices on another Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.114.108.98 (talk) 00:01, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
