Conspiracy?

Recently both the Vancouver Housing Blog and Calgary Contrarian have announced a pause in service.

Having recently started this blog, it definitely is no where near the popularity of the other housing blogs, but we do get our share of visitors.

So should I be expecting Guido to be knocking on my door to stop this blog? Or maybe I should be expecting a cheque from some bank or real estate agency soon...

All kidding aside, special thanks to VHB and Rob, I have always enjoyed their blogs and view on the market.

In the mean time, I'm sure there will be others continuing their legacy giving us a local perspective in Calgary (Vancouver has several good blogs, links in the VHB). Also, check out http://albertabubble.blogspot.com/

Anyone know if Rob was the same Rob who ran the Vancouver site that just closed?

From wikipedia, "The Wilson's storm-petrel ... is strictly nocturnal ... to avoid predation by gulls and skuas, and will even avoid coming to land on clear moonlit nights. Like most petrels, its walking ability is limited to a short shuffle to the burrow."

I wonder what city will be next in the rolling bubble. Regina? Brandon? Sudbury?
