Orlando, which isn’t a large city, has multiple multi BILLION dollar projects going on. (When has Tuscaloosa even had any project go over a billion?)

Ever hear of Mercedes?

Only morons (like you) try to compare Orlando with well….anywhere. It’s a unicorn. If you actually bothered to read (which you didn’t) I said the entire state of Florida is doing well because they’re doing things right. So if you’re not better at details than that little bit of reading comprehension I pity your clients.

If Portland is better why is their unemployment higher, COL higher, they’re shedding population AND industry at a pretty incredible rate?

We’re adding industry and population. We don’t have the homeless problem, the purely insane government policy or the rampant crime.

You need to pay attention to reality

Do you think income didn't increase in the 60s 70s 80s 90 2000s 2010s? It just stayed the same that whole time, but magically increased the last 2 years? Median income is slowing down a lot now women are joining the workforce. Median income is well below pace of those periods in the past because more workers. There are graphs comparing average salary to inflation, and salary is very low % increase compared to inflation. I can post links on it here. They say reason is more women working, and it's because instead of companies increasing wages to satisfy employees, they keep it in cash on the balance sheet, so there's more money to shareholders/stock price increases. They care way more about investors than who works there which in my opinion the best companies (at least start out) with very high appreciation of their workers. Hilcorp is an example. Pay very high, engineers making $200k total comp by 30, named one of the best places to work on rankings, and have never made one layoff during any oil or gas downturn, and their production/revenue way outpaces all the other majors. Doubling production once every 2 years or so.

There really isn't any argument from one side or another I take seriously because all I have to look at is that graph. Practically perfectly straight. Practically perfectly corrects itself. There have been record high interest rates in 80s. There have been periods of very high unemployment and very low unemployment. There have been sharp wage increases and decreases over that time. There have been every type of economic ups, downs, stagnations, foreclosures, wages ups/downs, highs and lows of inflation. It doesn't matter. It always reverts back to the mean There is always a correction. No matter what happens, there is always a correction to it in residential real estate. For that reason I have a ton of confidence it comes down another 10-15%

You think all those extra miles of roads, sewage and water lines don't cost more to install and maintain for you suburb bros?

Mostly, if not entirely, funded by local taxes.
