A year ago, I think I filled my tanks in the $1.15, ($1.18) range, and this year, we're pushing $2.25 to $2.30. |
Any loss of life is tragic, and you know we want people to be safe out there. |
Builders will face more challenges with density and land prices, and with all these public builders, they can go out and scour the countryside for ideas from other cities. Smaller builders will follow suit. If they are affordable, why would people not buy them? |
He sets the tone for everyone. He's a leader and he expects everyone else to step up to the plate just like he does. |
He tried for the win with the Peterson and he gets put on his back. It's a shame for Jimmy because he's wrestling their kid tooth and nail and he gets pinned at the end. People won't understand when they see that -- it was a really good battle. |
I get tired of everyone trying to push this and make money off it. What about quality of life? |
I think most of the big builders will struggle to meet last year's totals. Any time you have interest rates on the rise, you're going to have higher cancellation rates. |
I would like us to do something. I think it's important for the future of the city. |
If the builder is going to try and resell in a couple of years, he is not going to build a slum. Ten years ago, affordable housing accounted for 80 percent of the market; today, it's only 5 percent. We need affordable housing. And this is going to be a way to get people into housing affordably. |
If they think prices are going to take off again like they did in 2004, they're in for a long wait. That ain't gonna happen. The status of our market is not so dependent on what goes on in Las Vegas this year, but it's dependent on what goes on in California. We've already seen markets over there hit the wall in San Diego and Orange County and other places, too. |
It all starts with the price of the land. Show me another market that is selling land for $700,000 an acre that's not looking at the ocean. We don't have enough, and it's priced too high. |
It may be a smaller vehicle and not as impressive or loud as the shuttle. [But] it could be able to launch and land within a few minutes. |
It would have to rain like it did Sunday eight more times to do any good. |
It's a guessing game. You don't know if this is long term or whether it's not going to be long term. |
It's under investigation and there really aren't any details we can release. |
