There is also a huge shortage of BMWs in the $5000-$7000 purchase price range.


That's just a local problém, there's no such shortage in Europe. Guess I'd just need a really cheap shipping option to the US to make some profits ;)

Your point is valid even in the context of my humor actually. Many of these problems are highly local.

For example, the "shortage" of things in NYC are usually because people dont account for local constraints. My colleagues in NYC complain about a "shortage" of nannies, yet cant seem to see that the living wage in NYC is super-high. Why would a nanny work for below-living wages? I'm sure that with commensurate income, the shortage would disappear.
