  2. Bob, it irks me that you and some other Austrians berate government statistics all the time, yet use them when it aids your argument. I think this is a big problem in current Austrian writings. It casts serious doubt over the arguments raised by yourself and many others. Of course the government statistics are saying housing is getting better. That's what they want people to perceive. Please stop citing propaganda such as this.
