Markets can stay irrational for a while, however the crash was a direct result of over supply. Land is plentiful and city's only have reduculys prices through poor infrastructure or artificially reduced development.

Credit however is not constrained except by a willingness to borrow and on the up this is near-unlimited. Fortunes are made not by doing but by speculating and then at the end the workers pick up the tab.
