NYT: Trump tax cuts were supposed to depress housing prices. They haven't.

“The direct result of these changes,” the National Association of Realtors told members of Congress in a letter in November, “would be a plunge in home values across America in excess of 10 percent, and likely more in higher cost areas.”
See if you can spot that plunge in the data:


Is this the NYT actually admitting their dire predictions were wrong?

Having just purchased a house I can say with some degree of certainty that the National Association of Realtors are not my favorite people.

I don't think I'll be sending them a christmas card next year.

Indeed they suck, I am not sure of the ratio but many if not most real estate agents are not actually "Realtors". I bought my house without any agent at all. I had a real estate license at one time though so I did have the advantage of knowing everything a real estate agent knows.

They are liberals, so they have brain rot! Their predictions are supposed to scare us, and they do, but not for the reasons they thought.

It is scary, because they think WE are stupid enough to believe them!
>:(

The funny thing is they think everyone does believe them.

Well I do believe that they believe what they say, it is just not tied to reality. That is the definition of insanity, as a side note.... :(

hopefully they will keep doing the same things and losing to Trump

What they do not understand is that they are actually loosing to US, the Voters; and Trump only works for US! Trump understands that He works for US; and is doing the job, WE elected him to do! :)

when do socialists EVER admit that they are wrong?

they seem to have changed their mind about free speech.

socialists have NEVER been for any kind of freedom.
if they say they are...they're lying.

Now it seems pretty clear that they only support the first amendment when it comes to Piss Christ and that sort of thing.

yup
