Good to hear from you. It took me awhile to get to it. There has been so much negative press, and it is all the same kind of thing. Over and Over again.

Tucson is doing fine and will continue to do very good, the article on page 1 of the Arizona Daily Star today is right on. Of course they cast it in a negative light (as much as possible, but it is exactly what I’ve been saying for more than a year. “Pima population growth to slow – - – microscopically”

Here are the points from the sidebar which explain why this isn’t a bad thing and why prices aren’t dropping like they are in other parts of the country.

1. The mortgage meltdown won’t stop our population growth.

2. There’s enough housing to handle growth for the next 1-2 years.

3. People are moving here for reasons other than employment.

4. A lot of them are bringing nest eggs with them.

5. The slight growth downtick we will experience will be invisible.
