This is an amazing graphic -- it's a map of the US, populated with what look for all the world like skyscrapers or high rise buildings. The catch: the height of these structures actually indicate the subprime mortgage foreclosures as a percentage of all subprime mortgages in metropolitan areas (Dec.07). Gives "density" a whole new vibe -- and it's not a good one, because these densely "built up" areas are basically financial holes, negatives not positives.
