Have you never worked with someone who constantly puts others down as a means of building his/her own self image.
It's tragic to watch.
Peter, It would probably be easier for me to read if I knew what was meant by the surbanities being weaker minded people and why it is supposed that elsewhere people are more capable of living intelligently. There is also the implication that all naysayers live in suburbs, whereas I would have thought central city people have a bigger reason to be bullish on property??

Does suburb in Australia have a special meaning?
OK - when he uses the term suburban think of mediocre, and suburbanites are therefore people who think on a mediocre level. They will never excel, just exist.
Terry does not consider himself to be a suburbanite. I'm just not sure what he excels at, but then I'm a suburbanite so I probably wouldn't recognise greatness when I see it.
Any expressed market opinion is my own and is not to be taken as financial advice

According to Terry, I'm just a mousezealot ... is that higher or lower than a suburbanite?
I put trolls and time wasters on my ignore list so if I don't respond to you, you are probably on it ....

Plenty of suburbanites excel across all fields and disciplines. Mediocrity is nothing more than unfulfilled potential and lack of ability to challenge oneself. Association with the suburbs has nothing to do with it, except that it is where much apathy and group behavior is centered.

Terry, you immediately contradicted yourself in the same paragraph.
Real sydney prices were flat over the 2003 to 2011 level... fact
10 wasted years
10 years during which he property markets in the other capitals doubled in price! 10 years over which the stock market doubled in price. 10 years over which Gold prices Tripled in price.
Sydney RE has been a complete 10 year Fail for all those investors who bought in. 10 years of lost profits they will never recoup. And the recent gains? Ascribe half of them to expensive renovation sales and half to a speculator frenzy that is about as sustainable as an erection in a massage parlor during a police raid.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
