re: Consequently, not as much of their disposable income is going to housing as in Tampa and other areas who have seen their housing prices jump up in recent years. True... but that doesn't change the reality. It's tough for people here, the housing, medical, insurance (just got a 7% surcharge for the entire state on property insurance) and gasoline costs are going through the roof, and salaries are close to flat. A lot of folks that were just getting by are not getting by anymore. Yes, I understand. I was only pointing out that FLA is at the early stages of this growth in housing prices. Some of the inequities will flatten out over time; others will not, forcing people out of the state. Its not pleasant for those people; unfortunately, its part of the inequities found in a capitalist economy. For states that have coastlines or mountains, housing prices will continue to go up into the forseeable future. ted
