Peter Schiff(@PeterSchiff):September housing starts unexpectedly fell 5.2% versus expectations of a 1.3% rise. The real surprises are that anyone expected a rise and that the decline wasn't even larger. Starts will soon collapse as rising construction costs and mortgage rates make new homes unaffordable.
