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.
