I remember her very well. At some point many of us realized that conversing with her was pointless. I remember one thread where she was essentially saying “This is bad! High inflation is coming! Run for the hills!” while on another thread she was arguing something along the lines of “This is bad! deflation is coming! Run for the hills!”

When this type of inconsistencies were pointed out to her, she admitted that she enjoyed a good argument (!) In other words, being feisty and argumentative just for the sake of it. There was a collective feeling fo empathy for her husband…

As for the 50% drop in some upscale areas… that may still happen in inflation-adjusted dollars, which are the only measure that matters when we compare dollar prices over time.
