And guess who is going to move into all that new vacant space?

That was the biggest visual difference I saw between the midwest and Wash Dc / NoVa.

Here in the midwest half the commercial buildings have "available" or "for lease" signs on them.

There, I hardly saw any at all.

Our building contractor in Arizona just moved to Maryland to work for his brother. In Arizona he couldn’t feed his family. In the D.C. area he is very busy building. He was disgusted when he told us he was moving.

I guess the folks in and around the beltway would believe that the “private sector” is doing “just fine”. Of course the rest of the country is in the toilet.
