What are you saying exactly when you say one seeking advice, facts, evidence, solid information is misguided because they should know after all they are “posting on a housing bear blog . . . .” Do you mean to say that some of what goes on here is just a mass therapy session for us renters, no need to site stats but rather just comfort each other in a collective group think that soon we will all be in SFH nirvana as the market crashes and burns. No need to delve into pesky things like evidence, leading indicators, facts, etc.???
So your view is that “to come here expecting to get advice” is somehow misguided and contrary to the purpose of the blog. Last time I checked the “about” section of this blogs home page it begins with its raison d’etre which is . . . and I quote:
About Piggington’s Econo-Almanac
The purpose of Professor Piggington’s Econo-Almanac for the Landed Poor is to provide in-depth, unbiased analysis of the Southern California housing market.
Are you telling me that Toscano has abandoned this principle without informing those visiting his site and instead has turned it over to the “sour grapes” crowd and made it just a “housing bear blog” and me “coming her to get advice” is at odds with its mission to “provide in-depth, unbiased analysis.” I somehow missed the its just a “housing bear blog” part. I suspect Toscano wouldn’t believe it “galling” for someone to come here to seek “advice on how to time the market.” No hissy fit here just sifting the wheat from the chaff.
