JF, I just thought it was funny watching you guys struggle over Clinton and tax cuts in the same sentence. Kind of a dogma oxymoron... glad to see you worked it out and Clinton is still evil. Didn't I just say that our current economic recovery is fed in part by a pumped-up real-estate market? When did that translate to "Clinton is evil"? Anyone who thinks that should blame Bush even more for his hand in this lopsided recovery. I know a first-time homebuyer who's about to get a 1,600ft2 townhouse for $570K. I can't imagine what's going to happen if today represents "the top." Tenchusatsu

re: Read the rest of my post. It all depends on who's cashing in. Yeah, I guess it does. I just thought it was funny watching you guys struggle over Clinton and tax cuts in the same sentence. Kind of a dogma oxymoron... glad to see you worked it out and Clinton is still evil. Very funny but so true. Clinton could have delivered to them free of charge a new Mercedes....top of the line........and they would have found a reason to complain.

Don't let Jim see this one.....it will only upset him....... Downtown Miami in Midst of a Building Boom By ROBIN POGREBIN Published: May 19, 2006 MIAMI, May 12 — People driving into downtown Miami these days need to allow extra time for losing their way. At least three major streets — 13th, 14th and 15th — are closed for construction. In fact, the whole area around Biscayne Boulevard is essentially a sprawling, reverberating construction site, creating a skyline of high-rise skeletons that keep poking above the city's palm trees. A Miami Performing Arts Center and museums are in the works. Miami is in the midst of a major building explosion, one that will almost certainly bring thousands of new residents into the downtown area. Like many cities around the country, Miami is trying to remake its business district into a place where people live, shop and play around the clock, instead of just coming and going from work, leaving the area dead at night. Anchoring this effort is the immense Miami Performing Arts Center, due to open in October, which includes a 2,200-seat concert hall and a 2,400-seat opera house. "Cities like Manhattan, Boston, San Francisco — these are the examples we are using to move our downtown forward," said Johnny L. Winton, a member of the City Commission, adding that some 90,000 housing units were in various stages of construction citywide. But many residents, environmentalists and even developers believe that the growth has been too rapid and undisciplined to support an influx of new residents. They say that buildings are going up without adequate mass transit, parking and water systems or a workable street grid. continued.......... nytimes.com
