The west is going to be the big battleground over this. Not so much California, because to be quite honest, I think California has reached equilibrium. In the next 20 years, California is going to start suffering what New York, Illinois, etc have long dealt with.
It's become too expensive to do business in Cali.
I think two states where alot of these issues are going to come to the forefront. Idaho and Nevada.
With Nevada, the fact is, the boom has to go bust at some point. You can't run a city of 3 million people (I've heard some estimate thats what the metro will be by 2010) on gambling alone. Especially when you're talking about a city that would not exist without modern technology.
Idaho is different because of well, the explosion Boise has seen in the last few decades. I was surprised to find out the Boise area now has half a million people, and it is still growing exponentially. I think in the next 10-15 years, Boise will start encroaching on well, land that hasn't seen the light of civilization ever, and I think some big issues will occur there.
I'd same the same for Colorado.
Ping. See post 40
Why don't you take your inflated ego and total misunderstanding of Eminnant Domain. We know you are a "really big real estate magnate." We really aren't the Donald Trump types, so I guess we just can't follow your incredible "logic".
Sorry...I guess I just put Real Estate salespeople in their own category of intelligensia....about third grade level.
