re: Best place to invest today?

Separate topic. Are you the gentleman that owns on SB? If so, have property values recovered? I own in Broward. Pompano. Lauderdale by the Sea. In that area. I'm thinking about downsizing that part of my stuff. Long distance landlording to the extent I have to do it now isn't what I want to be doing. I think I'll keep 2-3 condos, and let someone that has more energy, and is more aggressive play in that arena.

Separate topic to the second power. How do you stand that overpriced and marginal food when you down there? I went down there to see the Orange Bowl, and I stayed for three weeks. I considered buying on the west side of Biscayne. I retrospect I should have. I could have gotten in for $80K, and I think the cheapest stuff right now is 4X that. That was winter 08-09. But the food, and the prices people paid for garbage food made me hate the place. I drove to mid town for breakfast, and for dinner went into Broward every night. Fogo de Chão was about the only place worth paying for, and even then overpriced for marginal food. I thought the Latin line dancers in the street was a neat thing to see. And one New Year's Eve the Moonies showed up in a bus. Yes, no lie, the friggin Moonies showed up in SB New Year's Eve. Talk about a dichotomy.
