I like DrChaos’ suggestion. We’re pro standard of living.
We’re not trying to take anything away from you, we’re trying to save you (and your children) from yourself. We can envision a brighter future for your children than you do. We see a time when someone earning twice the median income won’t be forced to cram their entire family into a studio condo.
We point out that the perpetual motion does not exist in real estate any more than it does in kinetic machines. If no one speaks the truth, will we avoid it? Perhaps a better symbol than bulls would be ostriches. Keep your head in the sand and reality will go away.
