With 0 economy to generate money, Cape Coral has spent $200 000 to have a "vision" of downtown (?) Cape Coral in 2030 !!
But then:


" Jacobsen says construction and redeveloping the vision depends on the economy."

While the city has lingering problems with its basic infrastructure..unnavigable canals, animal/pest control, water pipe leakages, no proper drainage for the rain water, etc.






“ Residents living in one Cape Coral neighborhood are dealing with a lingering problem, the smell of raw sewage."

The common sense has walked out of the door and went to small villages of Africa!

***MOD CUT***
Here are a couple of quotes from the WSJ.
"Robin Speronis, a real-estate broker in Cape Coral, Fla., says business had been picking up recently, with several inquiries a day—until the latest foreclosure scandal broke. Since then, she says, inquiries have shriveled to just one in the past week."

"The possible foreclosure wars to come loom so largely over Florida markets that Ms. Speronis is urging condo sellers to consider any offer they get, even if it is far below asking price or what is owed on the mortgage.

Dianne Cloutier, a records supervisor in Chelmsford, Mass., had been looking for a retirement property in Cape Coral, but decided to wait because of the foreclosure mess. "It's left us on hold until we are sure the banks have legitimately foreclosed on people and that nobody can come back on us to get their property back," she says.


Harry Cambell
Foreclosures aren't the only problem. Short sales are getting more difficult to pull off, too."

It appears that the real estate market is going to drop like a rock in SWFL so investing at this time in this area would be foolish to say the least. What you buy to day will be cheaper tomorrow,
A LOT CHEAPER.

Check the first amendment.

Although I agree with you that members should not be silenced just because their views aren't popular, I am so sick of hearing people bring up the First Amendment.

This is not a government web site. The First Amendment doesn't say it's okay for anyone to say anything at any time. If you work for KMart, you can't whisper to a customer, "I wouldn't spend that much for this crap" or you'll be fired. If you work for McDonald's, you can't say to a patron, "Do you realize the reason your kids are so fat is because of all the greasy burgers and fries they eat?" or you'll be fired. If you work for a doctor, you can't say to a patient with an STD, "I bet you picked it up from that slu* you married." Chances are you'll be fired.

You can say anything you want because this is the good old USA, but you still need to accept the consequences.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So, until Congress passes a law saying posters cannot express their personal opinions on City-Data, the First Amendment does not apply to this forum.

I'm afraid your logic will be over his / her head.
