      We're not on a hyperbubble. We certainly have created a bubble due to biden's inflation but the demand for housing "shortage" and rental property is going to help us get through it fairly smoothly in my opinion. There will be a drop in employment and there will certainly be a minor recession but nothing major especially nothing as bad as 2008.
