Author: Paul Burns, Owner, City Investments
When you read that the subject poll showed that 59% of those polled believed that now is a good time to buy, you realize that the American Dream is still a great big pad with a 6.000 pound SUV or two in the garage no matter what. JUst like land developers and builders, if you will loan money,...

Analysis of: The Truth Behind Florida's Housing Numbers | online.wsj.com
Author: Anthony Trella, CEO/President, The Meranth Company, Inc.

Author: Paul Burns, Owner, City Investments
It’s hard to believe that the formerly largest industrial city in the nation has fallen on hard times for jobs. But apparently so be it as the last remaining king, the Garment industry, is about to topple. Just yesterday the entertainment industry was king here too, but we know its influence...

Analysis of: Dan Walters: California Faces Huge Upheaval | www.sacbee.com
Author: Paul Burns, Owner, City Investments
