Geez, I dunno, I don't think it's the LONGEST running RE bear board....who knows? It's certainly a lesson in humility (as if the market isn't humbling enough!<G>)

Maybe if Greenie didn't push rates down that last 1%, things woulda been different! It certainly seems as excessive in retrospect as it did at the time....

Is this any way to run a monetary policy? It looks like the mood swing chart of my ex-girlfriend!<G>

the thing is there WAS a bay area RE crash at right about the time this board was created but the bay area RE agents and homeowners here won't admit it. I haven't seen them around lately but it was an amazing sense of denial in those folks. We had a sharp 40% drop or thereabouts in 2001. Finally after the google IPO and other recovery + bubble, my area Noe Valley is back to its old highs. But there was, indeed a crash here.
