Je lis régulièrement le New York Times, et voilà sur quoi je viens de tomber ! J'ai aussi des amis qui vivent dans l'Orange county, considérée comme la commune la plus riche aux USA. Et à la fin de l'article on compare la bulle immobilière avec la bulle Internet de 1999-2000.
"Even in affluent Orange County, Calif., the growing wealth of executives and brokers in the booming mortgage industry was hard to miss. For Kal Elsayed, a former executive at New Century Financial, a large lender based in Irvine, driving a red convertible Ferrari to work at a company that provided home loans to people with low incomes and weak credit might have appeared ostentatious, he now acknowledges. But, he says, that was nothing compared with the private jets that executives at other companies had. Source : Mortgage Crisis Spirals, and Casualties Mount
“You just lost touch with reality after a while because that’s just how people were living,” said Mr. Elsayed, 42, who spent nine years at New Century before leaving to start his own mortgage firm in 2005. “We made so much money you couldn’t believe it. And you didn’t have to do anything. You just had to show up.” Just as the technology boom of the late 1990s turned twenty-something programmers into dot-com billionaires, and leveraged buyouts a decade earlier turned Wall Street bankers into Masters of the Universe, the explosive growth in subprime lending turned mortgage bankers and brokers into multimillionaires seemingly overnight."
