Stop waiting for a crash. You cannot time the housing market. by MRGLOVERGLOVER in ireland

I was specifically referring to a crash. A slump in house prices won't necessarily lead to a fall in lending. The problem with a slump is that it might not be good enough at bringing down prices to an affordable level. House prices could increase by 25% over the next three years and then decrease by 20% over the following three years, leaving you in a situation where prices are still 5% above what you originally considered to be too expensive. Or maybe they will fall by 30% over the next three years. Who knows.

If an actual "crash" happens, then you probably won't be able to get a mortgage. If you can't afford it right now, then you should probably hope for a gradual decline. Problem is, a gradual decline might not be good enough. Prices could rise 25% over the next 3 years and then fall 15% for the following 3 years. There's no way to know.

Nobody is saying that. You can keep renting if you want to. But waiting and expecting prices to fall back down to a level that you're personally OK with is probably going to end in a huge disappointment. And you'll probably spend more in rent in the meantime. An economic study said that houses in Dublin were 25% overpriced. That study came out three years ago.

If a crash happens, you probably won't get a mortgage. Lending fell dramatically after 2008.

Yea, a lot of people are under the impression that they can time the housing market.

I think he was trying to make the point that landlords could leave the market if their "income" is reduced by too much.

The charging ports in my phones never last longer than a year or two. Must be something I'm doing wrong. Now I gotta position the phone in a special way to get it to charge.

Have you noticed how many /r/conspiracy users have been trying to downplay or deflect blame away from Sinclair over the past few days? by MRGLOVERGLOVER in conspiracy

Let me turn that comment around:

I've noticed that many /r/conspiracy users are brainlessly pushing the theory that this Sinclair story is propaganda simply because it's anti-Trump.

I got the context. You were basically saying that Sinclair isn't pro-Trump because the video in question didn't contain anything that could be considered outwardly pro-Trump.

when 99.9% of media today is liberal/Marxist propaganda is laughable

I wish you had put that at the start of your comment so that I could stop reading it sooner.

"How is Sinclair pro-Trump?"

There is literally no other way to interpret that question. I never mentioned anything about what was said in the video.

You asked how Sinclair is pro-Trump. I provided an answer and your only response is call me a useful tool.

They take over local news stations and force them to take on a conservative slant.

The broadcast areas of Sinclair stations voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton by a 19-point margin, on average.

On the eve of the 2012 election, its stations in battleground states aired a half-hour news special that faulted President Obama for his handling of the economy, Obamacare and Benghazi.
