With the 7,000 new apartments coming online we should see a sharp housing price decrease. Problem solved! The sarcasm is implied and doesn't need a "lol" which just looks immature. Insulting the poster decreases the quality of discourse and encourages indecency. It increases the chance that the next person who finds you to be in the wrong will likewise be indecent. Furthermore it drives away people who despite merely being incorrect in one case may have other useful information to share. Your manner of speaking is a larger negative than someone merely being wrong and it will end up getting you booted from the site because it violates hacker news rules.
