I sort of feel bad for people who bought in the past few years and are getting burned by declining values but....not really.

I mean, why should short term fluctuations in home values bother you if you've bought a home as a residence? Isn't it conventional wisdom that you buy a home planning for the next ten years?

IMHO, buncha cry-babies.
