Are Piggington’s best days behind it?

Sorry to post and hide, we were in Sequoia for a week. I was stoked to see Rich’s opinion on this thread. He summed it up well. BTW Rich, I have always appreciated your your takes, but mostly your interviews on NPR/local PBS. Have you thought about video on your site linked from youtube? I think this would add to the site. Either that or a cage match with Matt Battitia.

[quote=Rt.66] I found the old conversations boring. The endless debates of whether we were in a bubble or not seemed ridiculous to me. Some of the recent topics have gotten my attention. I’m looking forward; I enjoy getting insight to where this country is headed, and so far it does not look good. [/quote]

I agree with you.

If you look back to the old posts of years past, the most “hated” posts turned out to be the most accurate.

50% off? Anyone who predicted that was called a lunatic.

Liar loans, NINJA loans, rampant fraud? No, impossible!

Fannie/Freddie going belly up? No, never!

Humans are herd animals, they tend to marginalize those who don’t conform.

As with all things, there are better days and worse days (you know cycles, bubbles), but I like to think there are plenty of “good” days to come.

Sure, there is little debate any longer over a housing bubble, here or anywhere else, but remember too that this is the Econo-Almanac for the Landed Poor. In true almanac form, this thing that is the San Diego Housing Bubble evolves and Rich continues his dutiful tabulating and statisticing–providing insightful commentary all the while.

With regard to the state of the Piggs at the moment, I continue to find a gurgling undercurrent of RE-boosterism and I find it fascinating. I believe a lucky few actually took advantage of unique opportunities and have done themselves well. Then, there are the rest.

Sometimes, one might think they were at an RE investor website. Okay, maybe not quite (hope I haven’t offended you, Rich!), but hopefully I’m not alone in my impression. Of course, we’re all interested in homes and the notion of buying them, but it’s also supposed to be balanced by the notion of economic common sense and, to me, that’s still out of whack.

And that’s good, we’re not a single minded group of lemmings! As long as that continues, Piggington’s thrives.

I think the best days are yet to come for this website. These days there are many more unanswered questions than in the past and there are many uncertainties remain. One does not have to read all the forum topics. I am just glad that there are people who bring data and numbers. It helps put my emotions in check and make me think more rationally.
