Crisis brings out worst in housing bloggers
October 24, 2008 04:50PM
As the housing crisis continues, real estate bloggers and commenters
are becoming increasingly mean-spirited about luxury homes listed for sale. Real estate sites such as Brownstoner and Curbed have seen their
traffic spike as the housing market has declined, and the sites' owners have been forced to monitor their comments sections much more
closely. Agents said people who can't afford the homes listed use the sites as a way to vent.
