Moving to America would be a wise choice. Cheap housing, cheap money, interest rates fixed at zero for two years, business friendly, gun friendly. -

So no rush to pile into bricks while prices are coming down, even if only slowly at the moment.
I can save money by renting a place cheaper than it costs to get an interest only mortgage on a similar property, then get a smaller mortgage having saved more once prices drop a few more 10s of grand.
Also, if the lawlessness spreads beyond the city walls I can easily do a runner abroad. No negative equity to worry about.
