Where to read about real estate trends without the extremists?

same jokes, nothing new.
I dunno, the Caligula line on another other thread was new to me... http://patrick.net/?p=1207417#comment-791354

Patrick,
Why about a self-moderating system? If someone's post gets 5 flags on any number of posts within a certain time period (maybe 1-2 hours?), the comment immediately goes invisible, or they get put in the jail forum.
Working on it! Give me a couple of days.

Wow. I didn't expect that. I feel like I have a small sliver of voice on this forum. Thanks.

Very happy to do what the readers want. Well, most of the readers, most of the time.
Please send me more suggestions.
More than half done with the jail thing, and "following" kind of like Twitter. Current scheme: a net of three "ignores" in one week gets you in jail for a week. Ignores will be offset by "follows". That's what makes it net.
Most people don't have anyone ignoring them. A few people have most of them:

Apocalypsefuck is an interesting case. He's got a lot of ignores, but I bet he'll get a lot of followers too.

Too frustrating to come up with an algorithm. And I've spent way too much time on it.
Anyone who insults another user will get put in Jail for a week.
Anyone who uses "libtard" or "libruhl" will be deleted.
Anyone who is acting like a dick will be deleted.
I have spoken.

Well, I'd actually prefer libtard to "realtor bitch", but I get the point!

What sites on SF peninsula real estate contain articles or forums populated by knowledgeable commentators that are NOT part of the Fringe, either top or bottom.
i.e. "prices will drop by 75%, just wait" and "all realtors are realtards"
or
"prices are recovering, buy now, best time ever, location, location, location"
you see where I'm going?
This forum is lost to the first faction.
