Just bought, hope this wasn't the peak. the housing market is funny. There's a prediction for every outcome. Some say it keeps going up, some think there's a bubble, the promise of interest rate drops can make it go down, or up.
I saw nice places sell fast or over asking. Places with problems, next to highways, weird paint, sellers are difficult, all sit for a while. I don't think you could give me a house for free that's next to a highway.

Have never heard this phrase - stealing it!

One receives grants for doing new research and writing papers about that research. There's no financial incentive for reviewing the existing body of work, and since one needs money to eat, guess what doesn't get done?
It's basically a case of lots of people are talking and few of them are listening. It's understandable that a lot of trash talk gets ignored.
I guess… how do we get people paid for reviewing? It’s an interesting point that the incentives are not helping us here.
