Sounds like you're in Janeiro, not Oriental. Dawson's Landing?

Well, thye've expanded "city limits" considerable.



Ah yes, come and join the flood of Yankees complaining that that local
workers are lazy & unreliable & charge too much.


Do you hear that in New Bern?

I hear that pretty much everywhere, most recently in Chicago.


... Haven't heard anything of the sort in
Oriental. The locals there are an eclectic bunch of my sort of people. No
snobs or yuppies--just bright, creative folk.


Good.



The "original premise" seems to be your advertising-driven conviction that
*your* land will go up astronomically in value forever, and that anybody
who says different is a corn-pone munchin' hillbilly.


For the record, my original premise was that in San Francisco, Miami, and
Chicago (examples, all) the property has risen in value with only momentary
burbles.

Duh. Pretty much everything goes up, over the long run. Does
property go up faster than everything else, always & always?


... The long-term trend is always up.

It is if you extend "long-term" to encompass enough time.


... My land was simply an example
to contradict something you brought up, which, for the life of me I can't
recall at this late post.

Then why do you feel you have to contradict it? It's been
clear to me, all along, theat you really don't have much
idea of most of what I'm talking about (yet you claim to
have aced Econ 101).
