Back in May there was a thread called "What if we are wrong?"

Clearly, for the most part, we were not wrong. Prices are indeed dropping. Florida, Sacramento, Boston - all being hard hit.

But most of us are in the Bay Area - especially along the San Francisco - San Jose vector. Prices are flat, volume is high - but where are the drops? Especially from Mountain View up through the Peninsula.

Imagine my dismay when I saw who was last on this list:

Declines

So... what if we were right, but not so right about the Bay Area? Is San Jose really that special?

To paraphrase Madonna in the BMW Film "The Star", I want my price drops... and I want them NOW!

you suggested we start a civil war. I tried to oblige by giving you a target.

More list wrestling. Sunomono wrestling.

If you’re going to resort to logical and polite argument in response, we’re not going to get far towards that war. So I preemptively surrender.

Damn...

By the way, that condo in Burlingame you keep posting is lovely. Let me know when you try to bid so I can get my entire clan to chip in, just so I can outbid you.

Too bad I cannot afford it. It is all yours.

"bulls are officially defeated"

How many people here wish they'd met Peter P years ago? Show of hands.

Peter, you have no idea how much of my life I've spent flogging a dead horse! Kind of like when a boxer continues through the ropes swinging at a guy that's already KO'd! Then wind up breaking your wrist hitting the trainer's stool. I swear.

I hope you all won't mind a new thread.

The problem is that there’s a couple of folks here who know exactly how to get under my skin and they’ve escalated that of late.

You've been living in Marin too long - this blog is more like San Francisco. You've got to ignore the tenderloin bums peeing into the garbage cans as well as the guy on the street corner screaming about socialism (oh wait, that's me).

@ LILLL: re Sherman Oaks POS with a '5' in front...

Is that north or south of Ventura Blvd?
Only place I've noticed with a 5 in front that's s.o.b is on Dickens - problem being that its almost literally underneath the 405....;-)

But, I have noticed the '8s' turning into '7s' on the flats sth of Ventura..conversely...1mill+ asking prices within spitting distance of the onramp to the 101..."easy access to freeways"...go figure.

The Blue Angels and any other aeronautical daredevil show should be banned for stupidity. Do people really need these things for entertainment? The fact that the Blue angels think they need to prove something actually diminishes my confidence in them. Dont show it, go do it.

That much is definitely true. I don't know about Marin sometimes. I had a job opp earlier this year in Chicago. Sometimes I really miss Chicago. If they could only add climate control it would be the best place in the US hands down.

NYC is still the center of the universe and London its capitol. 10 years ago 3 of us shared a studio at Lexington and 31st with drug dealers and hookers patrolling the area. Lots of hookers. Everyone wants a condo in NYC. But why buy when you can stay at the Mercer? Just back from Vegas and it seemed desolate but they keep putting up the towers. There is a project on the strip that makes WTC look like a sandbox.

@random user, shouldn't you really be back on craigslist looking for people to fuck your sister while you stand by with your camcorder?

Do you have a point you piece of fucking shit troll fuck or are you just here because your hand is tired from spanking your small fucking chinese cock?
