You have posted an opinion as fact based simply on what peoples beliefs are of what will happen in the future. Your opinion that house prices will be higher in 40 years is not a fact its an opinion.
The point is 25 years ago no one would have accepted prices would be lower now than then just like no one would believe prices in 40 years here will be lower than now. It does not make your statement fact though.
If you do not understand the difference between an opinion regardless of how likely it is to come true and fact then thats your problem.
Quite true also. It's just it seems his opinion is more likely to come to pass than some of the other "facts" on here.0 -

I have other opinions too. My opinion is that tomorrow the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. Naturally this is just a prediction because if an asteroid hits the earth tonight and flips the earth on it's axis, then the sun may rise in the north and go down in the south.
All facts can be made into predictions if you're tin-hatted enough...."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0 -

Quite true as I have said earlier. You can't though moan at others for predicting 15-25 years ahead and then present your own predictions as fact regardless of how likely ones is likely to come true.0 -

Which bit of "difficult to find a graph that goes back far enough" in my post did you not understand?
Which part of "possibly" did you not comprehend?0
