Jeremiahs are no longer solitary figures
Economist: Structural cracks
PESSIMISTS used to wear a sandwich board announcing “the end is nigh”; now they just set up a website. And Jeremiahs are no longer solitary figures, particularly when it comes to the housing market. Proof that misery loves company can be found on the forum XXXX where the running total of discussion topics this week was 14,455, eliciting some 171,609 responses.

Misery? Someone is kidding themselves. Low house prices are a great gift to nearly everyone - the sulks and hissy fits are just within the media. The rest of us rejoice!

Those people waiting for prices to fall so that they can buy are all miserable?

http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/newsblog/2008/05/blog-economist-probably-maybe-suggests-a-crash-13553.php
to the economist article referred to here.

mken - the article did look familiar - I think the earlier one may have been posted here. My comment was merely facetious, implying that there wasn't a lot of substance to either article.
