The point was that the HIC mentioned Fred H in a not totally unfavourable fashion. <br /><br />NC, can you track down the original BJ article and your letter and send us links? <br /><br />As Bayard keeps explaining to us, more supply only affects prices at the margin, which you can take more or less literally (i.e. if they built a hundred yards out into the green belt, then the new houses would be worth a smidge less than the existing ones which currently back onto the green belt, but the value of land and buildings in the centre would go up a smudge).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-87417145220743073962013-06-25T18:01:13.698+01:002013-06-25T18:01:13.698+01:00I'll nominate Bill Jamieson of the Scotsman.

I said that they were being kept unnaturally high by regulations preventing them being built and that prices would only permanently fall substantially when builders were allowed to build houses.<br /><br />In my defence I can say that we were both right, discussing different phenomena, and that house prices have not fallen to the level they were at when the bubble started let alone what they should be, but I must admit that he was right. neil craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157898238945726349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-69316563669354810112013-06-25T11:03:09.949+01:002013-06-25T11:03:09.949+01:00Well, I'd like AH to add me to the Hall of Fam...Well, I'd like AH to add me to the Hall of Fame. It was abundantly clear 'on the street' that it was all going to go tits up. We could see this from well before 2005. I put the date of revelation at when I cracked what the Financial Shambles Authority was really for (the proto-nationalisation of financial services). This light dawned for me in about 2003.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.com
