With all due respect... I disagree... in the 1990s, 2006/7 et al... there was still capacity... land and/or natural resources, work, ethics, invention... were wide open to support growth. (i.e. we were GROWING the "Fatted calf").

America is now in a contraction phase... absurd regulations, insane taxes (@ Socialism levels), people actually WANT HOAs... Folks are selling 2 centuries of prosperity... and EATING the "Fatted calf".

This very thread is about $100k/acre land, $300+ SF construction etc.

There is no exit from this... that I can see.

As always... I am open to differing opinions.




$100k an acre...pssh. Look up Cedar Hills, Highland, or Alpine Utah on Realtor. .25 acre building lots are $800k+
