HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Is it just me or does it seem that year after year major road construction projects begin just about the time that all the “snow birds” start returning to Southwest Florida? And why aren’t these projects started during the Spring, when these same “snow birds” are leaving to go back up north to their homes?
Somehow our leaders, in their inimitable wisdom be they State, Country or City, seem to think that the best time to begin a project is when the roads are the most heavily traveled. Boy they sure must know something that I don’t because I simply cannot figure it out.
Now I fully understand that a project like the widening of US 75, (which just started,) is one that will take up to three years to complete, so maybe that isn’t as critical as to when when it…

There is also disagreement among the ‘experts’ as to how and when the market will truly stabilize, causing further consternation.
With the housing prices down some 20% + it would suggest that it is a perfect time to buy, but again the buyers seem to feel that the market will drift even lower. Until they perceive the market stabilizing, they will most likely remain on the fence.
I’m reminded of the old phrase, “Sellers miss peak…Buyers miss bottom” and have been telling potential buyers that they need to get off the fence. Despite…
