The taxpayer-funded bean counters who make up school budgets apparently fail to realize that empty, over-priced, overbuilt subdivisions and investulator pre-construction/conversion condos don't house school-aged children.

Is he 4 years too early in his prediction again??
(?) Clearly, sustained low inflation implies less uncertainty about the future, and lower risk premiums imply higher prices of stocks and other earning assets. We can see that in the inverse relationship exhibited by price/earnings ratios and the rate of inflation in the past. But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions as they have in Japan over the past decade? (?)

I hate Greenspan.
Well, I just feel the need to share my happy thoughts! Maybe, just maybe, the fact that SoWal is so beautiful and relatively free of crime and corruption (I know I am being an optimist here) will bring some of those Miami folks with $$$ headed to the Panhandle instead of them buying property farther north. Who knows, this could be a good thing for other more attractive areas of Florida. Perhaps an "inter-state" juggling of population will redistribute the Floridians who are fed up with the areas they currently live in and they will fall in love 
and buy up all the excessive Panhandle inventory. Shelly, how have you been? I will be wiating for the shoe of reality to drop on me for this one. Please be merciful! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you by the way...

In many cases the $$$$'ed Miami folks and crime & corruption go hand-in-hand. The other $$$$'ed Miami folks are world-class Kvetchers who will crush any shred of optimism like a bug (book a cruise out of Miami during the week of Hanukkah sometime;-) )

Yes, that means it's great to be a religious/private school owner with Jeb at the helm. It has nothing to do with population influx.
Yeah, NCP just isn't enough...I suspect they'll catch on in the upcoming episodes. Next will be the GCT; then they'll try throwing in a "free" Suzuki Swift; followed by, "We'll pay your closing costs;" and culminate with bringing a check to closing as they merrily follow the market down. (Gotta love the Mortgage Broker character with the Bluetooth stuck in his ear!
)
I grew up in the Panhandle and visit several times a year. I've lived in Miami for 17 years.
The corruption, lack of planning and constant kow-towing to developers is only marginally worse in Miami. You just have 10 times the number of people.
As pointed out in one of the articles, areas that rely on tourism often have low per capital income levels. When people say growth brings jobs, they are primarily low paying ones.
I must say the drivers are far more courteous here although not terribly gifted.
