The real issue IMO is that RE just isn’t interesting any more. It was interesting during the bubble, and then during the crash. Now, it’s boring. It’s been the same story for years now (prices high but rates low, etc etc).
Even the global pandemic and financial panic didn’t really move the dial on the local market, as sdr pointed out with his realtime updates.
Real estate is boring now! And that’s why people don’t discuss it much.
Brian was annoying, but he wasn’t the cause of that imo… he was just filling a void. The problem was that he was doing so in a very self-righteous, partisan, and inconsiderate manner.
