Well to be fair the interest rates were halved during the post 9/11 / dot.com bust. Which to many, is the reason the prices didnt fall as buying power increased.

SF has seen its economy and population ebb and flow a lot over the last 50 years. The city in the 70's was full of empty buildings and houses. Then the Gay boom of the 80's changed the population and gentrified a lot of the dilapi

I wonder if this excludes posts which pay to be boosted? So many of the "ads" on FB are not banners, they're paid boosts of random posts (content, video, etc). IMO, these are the problem as they are difficult for people to ID

Oh, sorry. I didnt realize you are super-duper smart. Maybe because your posts are anything but... Or maybe you're just being sarcastic and just not a very good writer... Either way, thanks for contributing. It really makes a differenc

A forum isnt social media unless you define social media as any medium that allows people.... But to play along, I dont eat fast food often, maybe once a year. But I still eat it and afterwards I always say to myself, "how and why do p

Social media is fast food. If you eat it all the time it makes you feel awful and will destroy your mental and physical health. But its cheap, easy to get and tastes really good... So stupid people love it.

For most people and most uses, a cell phone camera is all you ever need. But its more akin to having an iPad vs a MacbookPro. For most, all they ever need is in the iPad but for professionals and techies, its limitations come into play quic

People are influenced by the words and appearance of others... If people think that there are many other "supporters" of something, they'll be far more likely to support said thing. You are as influenced by this as anyone.
