Fortune has a great article about shifting builders styles over at KB homes. Good Read, and a decent overview about the shrinking of the american home and a return to the value of a home as a rent vs. buy decision. We’ve been pushing that for years, but now, finally, it’s getting some press.

NYT also had a great article on the delinquency rate across the Nation. the NW and North Central states all clocked in a nearly normal historical rates (under 3%) while the rest of the country…….awash in rates over 7%.
