After all of this, has "Bubble mentality" been diminished?

Self awareness can be a very beautiful thing. Lack of, not so much.

I did admit to name calling groups of people. Pointing out examples of it is pointless since I never disputed it.
Arguing over petty matters is not clever but rather foolish. It would do you good to debate objectively. Your personal vendetta is clear to see.
Sorry if my views on real estate conflicts with your vested interests. But this is not the place for your censorship.
Perhaps the National Association of Realtors is the place for you to feel more secure in your views on real estate. But I'm afraid this not the place for only supporting one point of view.
Thanks for Your Understanding

Regarding Steve Jobs: Rest in peace my friend. You were an inspiration to me even though I didn't know you personally. It's sad and a loss that you had to passover. Your talents will stay with the world as an inspiration to me and others.
-My blessings to you.

As expressed in this thread, the sentiment is pretty much on schedule given the delays caused by government interference. Absent that interference, we would have already recovered from the housing bubble and the resulting depression.
Here's looking forward to the next three years.

Denial...especially 'selective denial' is alive and well with people in general. That's all.
Shit, you're back? I thought you were just going to post under your more friendly MarsAttacks! account.

So we're into year 4 of a nasty recession. Foreclosures are still at an all-time high. New homes, existing homes, and so on are all lagging in sales. We see the stories day in, day out. Everyone at this point acknowledges that the recession was largely created by an out of control housing bubble.
Yet at the end of the day I can't help but think that after all this that the bubble mentality is still very much alive and kickin'. This is ever so apparent around here in the Bay Area. There are many people- even some on this site it appears- that think that 500k+ for a starter home sound swell. I know many who paid a lot more then that. Investors are "snappin' up" bottom-feeder houses, paying prices for them that are still in many cases still much higher than they were before the boom. Again- around here in the Bay Area any party or gathering you'll attend will likely have a common topic- of housing, of how and where to live and so on.
Why is this mentality so hard to kick? Why do people hold on so desperately and dearly to the idea of housing? Why does rationality seem to fly out the window when it comes to houses?
