Anyone who has been to Naples, Italy, would only laugh at the
pretentiousness of inhabitants of Naples, Florida.

I have a buddy who plays pro basketball in Naples, Italy...and doesn't think
very highly of it. He has played/lived in several Italian and other
European cities, and Naples is near the bottom of the list of his favorite
places over there. He does choose to come to Naples, Florida for his
vacations however.

Could you please not post attachments to a text newsgroup? This one locked up
my system.

The majority of the people in Naples are retirees who already earned their
money and are bringing it down here in their retirement. The retirees now
are the baby boomers...a huge population with enormous wealth and very
little debt. An entire service population has grown as a result, and the
service industry feeds on the retirees. As long as the population
continues
to grow faster than attrition (ie--from people dying), the demand for
housing will grow. Over the past year, Collier County's population grew
by
almost 15%. Consequently, the demand for housing (expensive housing)
drove
the median price up more than 40%.

Is it sustainable? Probably not at the same rate of increase. However,
you'll never see a true "bust" where prices begin to fall. They'll just
level off until the next boom.


What Dr. Tooth says mirrors what I know of Florida.

So Backyard and Dr. Tooth, which is it?

or what Dr. Tooth said above?

If this *is* just small pockets of old farts then housing prices will tumble
when:
1) These old folks die and the houses come up for sale.
2) The interest rates start to rise to more normal levels.

They may be old and rich, but they are not stupid.

No, no, and no. Naples is unique.

I've spent 15 years in the Tampa Bay area, and I've spent a LOT of
time in Naples. I was there for seven months, I worked as a super for
a company that built shopping centers. Naples is unique, say, from St.
Pete, because there is a LOT of swamp people. They are the equivelent
of hillbillies.

Do they put those holes in their pumpkins like you do?

bassie prefers relatives. Young ones.

He must be kin to ol' Harry K. then?

What shopping center did you help build?

Naples has one of the highest number of per capita millionaires (possible
the highest) in the country. Are you sure you've been to Naples?

He only visited one trailer home in the swamp while he was there....

The highest home prices in the state aren't keeping buyers away from
purchasing a piece of Southwest Florida.

Naples is a very nice town, so don't get me wrong, but that building
report is quite scary. I have witnessed many overheated building booms.
Bust is invariably part of the cycle. 40-50% price increases are not
healthy and not of long duration.

**** happens
