“…And why all the hostility? I have never heard anyone here cept the occasional poster/troll who thinks prices are going up, or even staying the same for that matter.”

Because left unchallenged, that would change. Consider this from the perspective of J6P who is only just now beginning to see the effects of this mess. They can draw a lot of the wrong conclusions about how much further this mess can go and get into a lot trouble. A financially sound buyer may or may not get hurt in Temecula / Murrietta and / or Chula Vista, but they sure as hell can in CV, RPQ, RB, and a whole bunch of other areas.
