I find this article to be self-contradictory. The premise is that you should diversify outside of your geographic economic ecosystem, but the claims continue that the whole economy is connected (i.e. when there is a rush for the exit). Agreed that diversification is good, but two quibbles: please draw some distinction to address this contradiction, and two, there is no mention of the difference between owning a home that you personally gain use of, and buying a property as an investment (i.e. one that provides income).
