If you got a business you didn't build that, someone else made that happen.,

Ruki,
You misunderstood the argument that is being made. But I guess you agree that we don't need laws to protect us. People should be able to use patents and copy written work all they want after all historically we didn't need them. Why should you be able to stop me from taking your idea/product and making it myself. After all you are saying that if I'm an entrepreneur who is making a copy of an ipad, no one helped me make the copy. Sounds pretty ridicules. - On 27 Jul 2012

Honest Abe,
The full quote is below. I understand it is a little long but he is right and no one made it on there own. Does your business use roads? Who do you think built the roads for your business? Do you have employee's at your business? Who do you think educated your employee's? Unless you built something from your land, on your land, with your own hands society helped you out in more ways than you recognize.
Here’s what Obama said:
“Look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something—there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own.” - On 6 Jul 2012

San Francisco prices fall again,

Patrick,
Experience should show us that the slowest time for real estate is around December while the hottest would be spring/summer. We should look at why your data does not fit this pattern.
To me it seems your data is very 1 dimensional by focusing only on the price which is collected from craigslist. Without having any meaning behind the price you can't tell if the market is going up or down. The examples that can distort the your numbers would be more high end homes listed or less low end homes listed. Maybe a 30 million dollar property was listed? One way to normalize the data would be to display dollars/square foot.
Do you remove data points that are extreme outliers?
