Housing Shortage Coming?

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Real Estate, tagged , , , , , , , on February 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

It’s always interesting to see experts (some of my favorite people) write articles that fly in the face of common sense or generally accepted assumptions.  Sometimes these experts turn out to be whackos or professionals just hoping to get a little attention in their field and a spotlight in the press.  Most of the time in hindsight [...]
