It's amazing what I miss sometimes. :) Up the Creed without a paddle -- perfection. Thanks One of the plethora of good things you bring to the table is the ability to proof my posts.

Up the Creed without a paddle — perfection. Thanks

The other concern is the unknowable. Much of the PNW was fueled by California equity locusts. There's just no telling if they might leave as disruptively as they arrived. I did like your mistype: "our clients would’ve been up the creed without a paddle." Creed, yes there is a certain amount of faith sometimes.

The area for which I've new ardor, isn't Portland, as the very factors you touched on will indeed result in long term growth governors.

I keep waitin' for one of two things to happen. Either the price/rent ratios fall into line and cooperate with the BawldGuy guidelines, and/or we can find land which will enable sfr's and/or duplexes to be built, also using BG guidelines. Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded. Houston? We've quietly been sniffin' around there since the first of the year. Some bad info slowed us down, but that's why we do our own research. If we'd have relied on what we were told, our clients would've been up the creek without a paddle. I’d love to be in Atlanta, Doug. I keep waitin’ for one of two things to happen.

It's last two decades of "success" are not sustainable and with things like the Federal transit juice slowing the cracks in the facade are beginning to appear. Look below the surface of their New Urbanist mantra. You'll see Orenco standing tall but they won't tell you about the massive tax breaks about to expire. They won't show you the failed Beaverton Round. They won't discuss the recent problems with congestion (all the money goes to the trolley). Vigilance is all I'm sayin'.

Since nearly all oil companies have a presence there... and that sector is doing so well... I guess it makes sense. Good luck with your Texas Excellent Adventure!
