No, no hatred what-so-ever. I just feel that responsible reporting about ones area of expertise requires more than boosterism. I have nothing against Mr Gin as a human being. Its solely about his role as Oracle of San Diego RE. David Lereah doesn’t claim not to be a shill for the industry Alan Does, and yet all through the bubble I never heard him once in all his PBS appearances discuss how unaffordable or crazy our RE market became. When I read his quote on Ben’s blog today I was suprised by the tone of it. Yes it didn’t in any way mention declines in pricing, I implied it.
