Ted,

RE:"Most people in your industry did back flips into their own arses because they were so excited about the cut on capital gains. You are the first real estate person I've heard complain about them. How come?"

Most people didn't even know there was such a law. They just thought they were smart.

Why do I dislike uneven taxation? Well, it skews the economy, screws future generations, creates a dangerous bubble and has environmentally turned FL into an over crowded ant hill. The later is the Environmentalist in me.

About 20 years ago or more a lot of Californians invaded your neck of the woods, Oregon, Washington. Steps were taken to stop it. Bumper stickers like "don't Californicate Oregon or Washington abounded". Just ask your parents and some old time Washingtonians and Oregonians.

As far as cap gains, Ted, should your stock gains also get a $500k exemption? If you know you would get a $500k exemption would you invest more in stocks?
