What FLU refers to as old timers were a group of people with similar observations but differing opinions. Many of whom have shared the little ups and downs life throws at all of us, health, family, etc. I was proud to be a part of it. We were a community and I’m thinking of getting a MPGA hat, because I want to make piggington great again. I think the hat should be gray, because we don’t represent a political ideology, we were just geeks who figured out the great recession before it happened.
TG,
I moved to San Diego in 2006 and couldn’t figure out what was going on with Housing/economy. I was a relatively well off young guy, but couldn’t afford squat using ‘good valuation tools’. My basic college economic classes taught me everything was all wrong. Finding piggington was like finding friends in a new town when you had none. Sure there were a few you never ‘got’; but it was still a great breath of fresh air to find people who didn’t buy the ‘housing will go straight up 20%/year forever’ lie, and had the data to prove it. AND then we would have the happy hours and I really liked the people I met. and to see so many people who sat out the worst of the market rise get to buy in the resulting fall was great. To see peoples solid choices rewarded made me really happy. I moved away in 2010 (bought my house in Santa Barbara in 2011), but I still come back to read from time to time. I am glad you and flu and the rest are still here.
