Hi James,

I'm sorry to hear you were having trouble posting comments to the "home prices" visualization. I've asked a couple of people to give it a try and they had not problems posting (we tried both on IE and Firefox).

As for your observation about scaling, you are right, we are varying the scaling depending on what you're looking at any given moment--which means we don't always set the bottom of the y-axis to zero. We've puzzled about this choice and it seems to us like it is the right thing to do right now, but I can see how it might confuse people. Do you have any suggestions?
