Real estate prices all over the west coast have gone mad, but prices are mad everywhere. If you want to see just how crazy things have become, then take a look at

the site contains some interesting charts for about 40 US cities. Each one looks at long term real estate price trends. In most cities, things look pretty normal until 1999, then prices jump off the page. Unfortunately, each picture comes with some stupid commentary. However, look at the charts, ignore the blog.
