It's interesting that the entire biz community refers to markets where housing prices are increasing as hot/strong/booming, and where prices are declining—even if it's due to increased inventory—as cool/weak etc.

Or pay police less?
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
