I'm glad to know at least one person thinks I can take a joke.

I don't think you can talk about how ridiculous RE prices are without discussing the concept of value and how it departs or adheres to price. When you discuss value, you can't avoid the idea that "value" isn't inherent in the object, that it's a subjective quality that has everything to do with what you personally hold dear.

Can you think of a better way to pass the time needed for the RE end game to play out? It's either that or I drive around my area and get depressed counting the huge houses growing up where beautiful fields of corn, rye and soybeans used to be.

I don't care where Grace posts- I have her book marked because she is one of the few posters that consistently makes sense. She is not trying to just repeat the same old hysterical tripe and dogma one finds so wildly dispersed around SI.

As she pointed out, she gives me something to think about while I wait for real estate to crash. And I have been waiting here for what seems like an eternity so excuse me while I stifle a yawn.
