Quoted: As the industry looks for signs the housing sector is beginning to stabilize, the threat of a crash in the commercial mortgage market grows, according to San Francisco Federal Reserve president Janet Yellen. Speaking this week at a bankers convention in Idaho, Yellen said while there are signs that the economic growth is beginning to return — house price declines are abating, consumer spending is stabilizing and new unemployment is lessening — the recovery will be painfully slow and the Fed believes commercial real estate is the economy’s next vulnerable spot. The problem, Yellen said, is maturing loans for commercial properties that lost significant value.

This piece is an interesting, human interest side of the Ecomonist article that ran a couple months ago...

Quoted: Americans are not moving en masse because of the Great Recession, unlike the exodus from the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Instead, they are staying put more than they did before the downturn.
