Are granite counter tops a fad?

Granite is very popular because it's very inexpensive and it's easy to
install. Mass quantities come in from China. In the San Francisco Bay
Area there are many granite retailers selling granite at very low prices
to the public, while the high end kitchen remodeling stores and the big
box home stores sell it at high prices.
