This is why they call them “depressions”. Watching the slow, methodical decline of something gets rather tiresome. Humans are hopeful, so this is depressing to us.
I still remember,very well, the RE decline from 1990 to 1996. By about 1994, no one wanted to talk about RE at all!! Boring, go nowhere, subject. It looks like we’re headed there about now. Two or three years into a decline and people start to lose interest. It’s very normal.
