Many people view the superstar city theory as confirming their hunch that, despite the current slowdown in home prices elsewhere (particularly in the United States), investors can expect to make huge long-term gains by buying homes in these cities, even though the homes there are already expensive. But, as I have said in my debates with the authors, if one reads their paper carefully and thinks about the issues, one would see that there is no reason at all to draw such a conclusion.
很多人认为超级明星城市理论证明了他们的预感，亦即尽管在其他地方（特别是美国）房价低迷，投资者们仍可期望在这些超级城市购买房产以获得巨大的长期利益，尽管这些地方的房产已然价格不菲。但正如我在与文章作者的辩论中所说，如果仔细阅读了他们的论文并思考了其中的问题，人们便会发现并没有支持这种结论的理由。
