The House Price Crash (HPC) Community Are Crazy
This is the second comic installment about the House Price Crash community. People may start to think i’m getting a little obsessed, but I’m seriously not, I promise =]
For those unsure what i’m talking about, you can see the first installment here, House Price Crash (HPC) Website Mentality and get a brief introduction to what HPC is all about.
I came up with this sketch when I was navigating through the forums on Global House Price Crash (GHPC); another highly active forum similarly to HPC. I was only made aware of GHPC a week ago; i’m still not entirely sure what the place is about. From what i’m told, it’s a more user-friendly version of HPC. They talk about the global housing market news in general, as opposed to taking a side and ridiculing everyone on the other side. But then again, don’t quote me on that. I’ve been too lazy to find out what the GHPC forum is all about, they could just be as odd as the HPC clan. However, there is an apparent atmosphere between HPC and GHPC, which can be extremely entertaining. A lot of the banned members from HPC have migrated to GHPC, consequently there’s a lot of bitching on there about HPC. It’s all very Hollywood, hence entertaining!
I was reading through this thread, HPC Casualty List?, That site has lost the plot. Basically, GHPC discuss how the HPC community is crazy; they ban people for simply having opposing opinions. If you care enough, in the thread is a very interesting list of members that have been banned from HPC. No, really, it’s an interesting list with names and stuff…
While the entire feud between the montagues and capulets is rather, well, you know, pety and lame, I can’t help but feel that GHPC do have a point. I’ve been on the HPC forums, and I still actively read the forums- those fuckers are crazy-ass bitches from what I can make out.

Perhaps you children should have kept the debate in the sandbox, away from innocent bystanders that have a hard enough time controling thier own kids.

HPC is grate place because you can say what you like so long as you don't mention immigrants taking our jobs or say anyhing againt Gay pride but thats understandable because the mod comes from India and and his boy friends makes him delete posts.

I started posting there in 2008 and have over 5K posts to date. I actually agree with a great deal of what these people are saying; the banks have loaned far too much money to far too many people who shouldn't have had it; houses are ludicrously over priced; house prices are falling; people have led profligate lives centered around acquiring cars, mega tellies and suchlike on stupid amounts of credit.
Their theories of why a crash is going to happen are actually pretty sensible the problem is it isn't actually happening and probably won't. Four years since the banks started to go down and still nothing. The mistake I made was to point all this out to them and point out why its probably not going to happen. The bottom line is that it can't happen without lots and lots of forced sales (repossessions) and they are unlikely to happen in the forseeable future. They will tolerate you posting if you are talking down a crash on crap arguments but as soon as you start posting sensible reasons as to why it can't happen then they'll ban you.

I initially started this website because I wanted to document my every step from property idiot to property landlord,
in hope that people would find my site and help me along the way. I literally didn't have a clue about being a landlord
when I started this website.
