CNN Money/Fortune Interview with David Lereah:
"Mr. Real Estate: 'All systems go, pockets of pain'"

Q: You've been accused by the blog David Lereah Watch of being too bullish. What's it like to have an online antagonist?

A: [DL]"At first I was kind of laughing. And now, it's enough already. This is a 26-year old that could not afford a townhouse and blamed it on the boom. And then he said, Who's talking about the boom and my name kept coming up. So I became Satan to him.

"The worst was that my mother read one of those things, and she almost started crying. And I had to say, Mom, you have to have thick skin. I'm going to be in the public and make statements about real estate, and if someone doesn't like what I'm saying, they have every right to say something opposing me.

"Now should they go so far as to call me Satan? I don't understand where that's coming from. That's just weird."

Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but this makes my blood boil! Comparing America's favorite Champion of the American Dream and recipient of the... uh, Homeownerhip trophy thingy... to the Devil!! And practically making his grey-haired mom almost cry (while she was probably baking some fresh cupcakes for one of Dave's many open houses)! This is simply uncalled for... cruel, disgusting.

I've long suspected that these Bubbleheads are jealous, angry bitter trolls who derive sustenance from the tears of kindly old grandmothers --and now we have the PROOF!

Discuss, enjoy...

DL is not nearly as bad. He is probably just doing his job.

If there is a villain behind the bubble it would have to be human greed.

Mom, you have to have thick skin. ...

... if you start crying every time I lie, you will run out of tears.

"He is probably just doing his job."

They said that about Goering too.

Wait, wait... this just in:

David Lereah's mom has just issued a formal response to her son's critics:

This is a 26-year old that could not afford a townhouse and blamed it on the boom.

Yeah... who told him to be born in the wrong year. His fault for not being conceived 20 years earlier.

I think in the last thread, it said that in the ol' days, 20 year mortgages were the norm.

Then it was 30.

Will 40 (which is already offered with great abundance here) be the next permanent hotness?

At the end of the day, there's really nothing to stop it from happening...

HARM :

I thought his mom was ashamed of him.

Japan did have an outbreak of the 100 year mortgage during thier bubble
