Only took 'em a year, but HP is getting a bit more MSM coverage, eh? Not sure if that's a good thing, as we'll get more REIC trolls like the pathetic bloodhoundrealty.com realtor idiot Greg Swann, but nice to see some of these columnists in tune with what's going on out here 'on the street' vs. using their rolodex of realtors like the fat and lazy Catherine Reagor of the Arizona Republic.
Here's HP's mention in the San Francisco Chronicle's SFgate.com. Big hat tip to Surreal.
One of my favorite bubble blogs is Housing Panic. Written by an expat named Keith, the blog mixes its market analysis with schadenfreude-fueled high jinks: postings of YouTube real estate satires and plenty of images of houses falling into gaping maws. While its onslaught of bitter invective against "the corrupt Real Estate Industry Complex" invokes a nefarious conspiracy of the powerful, it also lays blame on the madness of crowds.
Along with noting that the National Association of Realtors is the third biggest institutional donor to Congress (actually, the rank has fallen to fourth, according to the Congressional Quarterly since Housing Panic's posting), there are more philosophical queries. Next to a picture of a stark McMansion, Keith asks: "What is it about human nature that would cause anyone to want to live in a 6,000 square foot house?"
It was Housing Panic that first reported on Iamfacingforeclosure.com, the blog of Casey Serin, a young real estate investor who self-publicized his massive real estate failures to get him on NPR and in USA Today and this column. This week got him an audience with his real estate idol, Robert "Rich Dad" Kiyosaki.

I just want the corrupt David Lereah to see how bad we roast him on HP one day...

I use to read surreal estate back when I was in San Francisco. Congrats on the growing recognition from the MSM.
As the stoners from Philly would say, that's 'chope' (dope + choice = chope)
Or the stoners from the Bay Area would say, that's 'hella-cool'
someone convert that NAR pdf into an image file and I'll post.
shameless
Congrats Keith!
Coming soon:
HP blog on the nightly news or dateline.
NAR propaganda here. If you hold the pointer at the bottom right of the image it will enlarge enough to read it.
Now that this blog has become MSM I think I am going to have to find a new blog for my rants.
This blog is still subversive and far from mainstream I'd say
If this blog shows up on Dateline or the nightly news, your gonna have to take borka with you ya know. Cause he's at least 50% of the comments!
