<Conclusion then becomes tech and brokerage are causing demand in this locale.> That would be my guess.... look at Silicon Valley, you pay 1/2 mill for 2k ft sq in the 'bad' part of town. What costs 80K in Sheboygan is millions in silicon valley, and you better have the inside track or you won't even see it on the market. Pay a finder 100k retainer to 'snoop' and knock on doors and maybe you'll get 'something'. I don't think people realize how important the whole financial bubble is to the economic 'numbers'. Who do we think is buying all this equipment from CSCO, and the other 'sacred cows' of wall street at the moment? Or even buying from the 'old' economy?? House additions, swimming pools, auto's... hell even banking... they are the biggest buyers of tech equipment by far... numbers as high as 30-40%! Why? Because they're expanding their trading and lending... OUCH! is tech in 2000 what oil was in the 70's?? DAK
