<<Think we could get AQ to attack Salt Lake City? The Mormons don't like 'em either! Home values here could use a boost>> LOL!! Actually.....It wasn't the AQ attack that made house prices go up. It was the fact that so many people (including, believe it not, British expatriates!!--shock!) have jobs in the attacked cities. The bottom line, which some people don't seem to get, is that people like to live where they can make an adequate living and achieve a decent lifestyle for themselves and their families, and they do what they have to do. I doubt my sister, who works in the financial center of DC, stayed home from work today. I doubt I'd have been given a pass at my old job years ago in a federal agency in DC, located right at the foot of Capitol Hill on Constitution Avenue, to stay home in the face of terrorist threats. My spouse has been inconvenienced in getting to work at a federal agency in Maryland ever since 9/11. Long lines to even get in the parking lot, due to ID and automobile inspections slowing things down. (They even open the trunk of each car to see what's inside.)
