For example, housing prices had been going up really high because lenders were more lax with their lending standards. They artificially inflated demand by enabling people to buy more home than they could afford. The artificial demand inflated home prices and now, until incomes or inflation steps up, we won't see homes prices at that level for many years. That's what I meant by "dead," that certain industries, because of changing underlying rules, would take a while to catch up.
