For an illustration of how very few people comprehend how house prices work, read the comments in the thread above. Nearly all of them are frankly fucking retarded. Just complete brain damage in every way possible. There are maybe a few thousand people in the country who understand what drives housing prices. All the rest are clownishly wrong in every way possible.
Why is it this way? Is it just propaganda? Wouldn’t it be to people’s benefit to understand this, the largest amount of money most people ever spend in their life? The comments on this post were better than any comedy I’ve watched lately. Just belly laugh after belly laugh.
