It’s a worst case scenario for property values and they’re still going up. That’s a perfectly valid example.

Maybe they went to zero during the crisis and then went up? If they went down, perfectly valid to ignore them, no? I think we should exclude extreme examples in these debates. The data backing the arguments up are random at best

They did not go to zero. They did not even go as low as 2009. The water crises started in Apr 2014 resulting in a brief drop of typical sized followed immediately next quarter by a record breaking rise to record high prices even though sales were low before it.
