As reported in yesterday's Wash Post, Harry Pachon, president of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (a California think tank), said: "There are more Hispanics in Cook County, Chicago, than in Arizona or Colorado or New Mexico...The major significance is that it's a national presence."

Not completely true. El Paso is growing fast and is still mega cheap. So is San Antonio. I actually like El Paso. It's a cool place - in parts.

houston is too muggy for me... as for hispanic destinations.... lol !! soon it will be the entire west... wait a bit more it will be all over.... -ggg put the J back in texas has become irrelevant; now, it is more like hablas español ? as for real estate bubbles... i do industrial real estate where insanity is filtered by three things: 1. cap rates 2. lack of glamour (i.e. warehouses are ugly [but boy they yield cash]) 3.- knowledge barrier. i.e. not just anyone can handle triple net leases and the required negotiating that takes place there is one more thing.... usually investors in this segment tend to be more rational and so the majority keep themselves out of trouble, therefore even in a soft market, the tendency to sell-off is seldom a problem, therefore there is always a ready market to pick up properties from those who do get into trouble... ----as for the rest of the re bubble... i say it is localized... one's job is to go search for the very active and healthy markets that the rocky mountain states are enjoying..... driven by: people moving in looking for quality of life..... and yes, i do believe the hispanic population growth is a factor that few have inputed into their ... oh-my-god-there-is-a-bubble-and-here-comes-the-crash equation... plus the bubble crash hyenas have yet to figure out that the real estate (while not immune to a crash), IT IS NOT THE FRIGGING NASDAQ and real estate will NOT evaporate into oblivion (in terms of value) as hundreds of thousand of shares of dot.bomb companies did... DUH... oh but i forget.... there is a bubble and the crash is coming.... yeah... ok.
