On a semi related note, I've seen a lot more 'stop' and 'stop it' on the internet lately. Arguably the various forms of saying the same thing come and go in terms of what is commonly used, but I've been surprised to see such empty words suddenly so common.
Personally I would be a bit embarrassed to just tell people to 'stop it' as to me it seems sort of childish, but apparently not everyone.
Because it gets old listening to the same tired uninformed troupes from some random person on the internet that is just regurgitating misinformation.
For people that actually live in San Francisco this is a real issue that affects our daily lives. Having some random person spreading more incorrect info is insulting and actually potentially harmful to the people that actually live here and have to pay those rents like I do.
I pointed out that you were wrong about Vancouver. You had no rebuttal. Living in San Francisco doesn’t make someone an expert on the Vancouver housing market.

Not to be harsh, but your frustrations are yours alone. Nobody else is terribly motivated by your pet peeves, and when you snap at people with "stop it" their response is going to be less "they must be tired of something" and more "what an unreasonable <bleep>".

Living in a city does not give you exclusive right to discuss its issues, nor does it give you a monopoly on information about that city.
And by your own theory, you shouldn't be talking about Vancouver, since apparently you do not live there.

"You're wrong and shut up" (paraphrased) doesn't stop people from repeating what you perceive to be misinformation. All it does is convince them that you're an unreasonable person to interact with. If you want to actually stop the "misinformation", provide arguments. Because I guarantee you that nobody here will respect your preposterous order to "stop it".

I know that there's an increasing trend towards viewing speech as violence, but this is ridiculous. My opinion on rents in SF is not harming you, least of all because I have literally no power to affect policy in a city over 500 miles away from me.
And even if you still persist in believing that we're somehow hurting you by talking about your city, then a dismissive attempt to shut down the conversation is doing you no favors, because you haven't convinced anyone here that they're wrong. They'll just keep repeating what they believe after they've finished downvoting your complaints into oblivion.
I suggest informing people rather than resorting to 'stop it'.
I don't have an opinion on prices in any of these places, but when reading your posts I don't think your posts in this thread don't provide any information.

It's strange.
