I got banned from hpc back in july for nothing more than pointing out teachers on 35k probably had a harder time of it than embittered IT types who all claimed 60k+ on the bullpoo heavy "how much do you earn" thread. There's some posters on there who actually are going to be having withdrawal symptoms, or perhaps they'll just crack on with their lives now instead.

Oh look. Another one for the support group

HPC remains as one of the best websites for economic and political analysis/debate

It remains as a site which bans anyone with a different view to themselves.

It also remains a site populated by geeks who live with mummy - and who wouldn't have the courage to say what they say in the real world, to real people, on a real street ..... they are dispicable.

But, it is a private site as I understand and the owner has every right to only allow those with the same agenda as him.

Or a link to a decent debate.

So what. Leave them be.

If they want to talk about house price crashes that's their prerogative. Why does it upset you so much?

I see no interest in that site any more than I would a property ramping site.

If like minded people want to discuss matters that interest them without the interference of others, fine, let them do it.

It's not really that HPC *want* prices to return to "affordable" levels that makes it bad. It's that they *believed* that was inevitable, and conned a load of gullible financial numpties in making horrendous mistakes. Then they banned anyone who took a contrary line, often while many of the ringleaders were giving up and buying themselves. It's a despicable site, and it's more of a cult than anything else.

Prices don't change due to what seems right to a particular group, and by definition house prices are affordable to the group that can afford them. That has never been all of the population, and as supply dwindles, the percentage that can afford them decreases. All you have to do to predict house prices is look at the shortfall between supply and demand, and as that is going only one way, the long term pressure is for increases. You can sit and feel smug at small falls this year, but that's going to be reversing sooner than you think, and you've missed the cheap mortages and your rent's increasing.

You must think that hamish mchouseboom is a very bad man then.

How should i feel for large falls because i was feeling a bit smug and you are saying i should have saved that for the small falls.

My favourite HPC quote of the day:

Unless you rent it out, I don't see how a house is an asset. If anything it's a liability because it keeps costing you money.
