Yours and Shiller's? LOL
Real estate price appreciation barely matching inflation? What a joke.

I proved years ago that the Shiller index is designed to hide land
value increases.
See if you can figure out how before I explain it to you. It will be
a good test of your willingness and ability actually to think for a
change. I'm not hopeful.

Georgists are at least willing to know the facts.

LOL! As if everyone reading this doesn't know landowners who have sat
on land and made out like bandits!

Of course, your claims are all false. Japan had its big land boom in
the 70s and 80s, and has experienced no significant housing price
inflation in the last several years. Certainly there have been
housing booms in a number of countries, but that's simply because the
same factors have been operating, especially cheap credit and
extravagant subsidies to landowning.

"Fact-free" would be a good description of a land price index that
shows real land prices not doubling in 100 years.

E.A. Enough already. Take your dribble someplace else. You have a
long history is alt.planning.urban. You're a troll. And you're not
even good at that. Stop your cross posting. Better yet, stop your
posting.

I like the thread so far. Only one stayed in the context you presented.
The other 2 went with the money synopsis thing, went somewhere else instead
of addressing the issues you presented. Kinda like politics.
See if I can even it out 50/50 for now (most won't address overpopulation
anyway, so its for now).
All our big problems are a of an ever increasing population nature. Both
nationwide and world-wide. The economy relies on a contigent of an ever
increasing population as starters. As population slows, the only
alternative is to take more from the current population. As the finite is
understood. Either way, we pay.

Hypocrisy. Big SUV, filament lights on all night. You think your neighbor
should be changiing to compact fluorescent light bulbs and driving the
hybrid.

Dave, love your Hypocrisy. Lets add home that consume 80-90% more
than they sould at present. With the progress of the buildign science
we should soon be able to easly get the net consumption to Zero.
Yes I do practice what I preach. I drive a hybrid, my electric bill
has been a -$100 each of the last 6 years (yes that is a minus). My
highest gas bill las winter was around $80 and that is at $1.49 a
therm (CCF). My house is a modest 1,500 sq ft for two people. Each
year I do another project to reduce our usage. Since the house is
built it gets harder to fix the rest of the items. In new
construction it would have beed easy and inexpensice to fix.

Think, Whole House Performance, it is the right thing to do....
