I don't expect that it will see the same value it had in 2007 (considering inflation/deflation factors) within my lifetime. <BR/><BR/>People with money (read: Cypress) are ecstatic about this recession because they can wait things out and get the best, lowest price for property. They aren't worrying about laying off people, because they don't manufacture anything. They simply come along and pick up the prized pieces.<BR/><BR/>If there are no "walk away" penalties for them, and another piece of property looks like a better deal, they'll walk. It's just business, folks. Capitalism. They won't be the ones holding the bag at the end of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-25971501066700948322009-02-08T08:34:00.000-08:002009-02-08T08:34:00.000-08:00CEO's at the district have no clue about time and ...CEO's at the district have no clue about time and money, example do you ever see them walking around saying good things about people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-89176575597631046562009-02-07T14:55:00.002-08:002009-02-07T14:55:00.002-08:00I walked the current LHS site several times with c...I walked the current LHS site several times with companies seeking to install cell phone towers. Of course, current technology doesn't require much more than a small fenced area at the base of an existing pole. They were paying about $25K a year without even flinching.<BR/><BR/>It would have been better to have a board that could read the CFP and see that enrollment was moving downward. Oddly, the same guy that was tracking student enrollment was also watching the real estate market and preparing for economic hardship.ESD15.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226260553219032275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-88503517563954264042009-02-07T14:55:00.000-08:002009-02-07T14:55:00.000-08:00This is what we get when we have an unqualified pe...This is what we get when we have an unqualified person running Business Services and a bunch of do-nothings on the School Board. This isn't Monopoly play-money they are wasting; its our money. I can't believe they hold their heads high in the community.

In other words, how can this type of problem be prevented in the future when there are new people on the school board?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-89536666059668972372009-02-06T10:24:00.000-08:002009-02-06T10:24:00.000-08:00Land value will continue to increase over the long...Land value will continue to increase over the long haul despite our recent economy decline. I believe the lease opportunities are plain good use of land resources that are no longer needed. Future long term lease funding is return on investment. Perhaps a cell tower located on the site could bring in immediate income and offset some of the discontent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-69248057130395995542009-02-05T18:12:00.000-08:002009-02-05T18:12:00.000-08:00Nick, nothing like a bull tongue! but you got uppe...Nick, nothing like a bull tongue! but you got upper teeth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-5944896446003556702009-02-05T16:43:00.000-08:002009-02-05T16:43:00.000-08:00So, basically Gary Nobles and Nick Brossoit Built ...So, basically Gary Nobles and Nick Brossoit Built a new school for Mrs. Nobles.<BR/>Ok, I can deal with that.<BR/><BR/>My question is what about all the asbestos at SLH and home school? sorry kids you might get cancer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
