ever thought about taking anti depressants? That was the darkest discription of a city I have ever read.

And it's not even original. It's a near carbon copy of this post from a few days ago:

The Real Phoenix

Nothing like a little self-plagiarism.

Silverbear is right.
I am sorry but I did change it a bit to make it original. O.K. maybe Phoenix is not as bad as I say but you have to admit that right now it is going through some hard times. Even the latest study by ASU showed the the news right now isn't good for Phoenix. I did live there for 11 years and it was great until the housing market collapsed and along with that the economy. Now it's really gone down the drain and I don't see a recovery any time soon. Listen over the first 9 1/2 years that I lived there it was like riding a huge wave of the boom town but now the wave has crashed. It's over for now and Phoenix seems to have gone from a flourishing boomtown to a kind of bust town. just read the following link Phoenix Economic Outlook: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Knowledge@W.P.

This guy has posted this same thing trice. Houston post, the "real phoenix" post, and now this one. It is an exact copy/paste of what he said before...or what someone else said and he simply copied them (I am starting to believe). This is something the moderaters should remove since they removed many posts that I and other placed on here about his city and the ugly beaches and large population of obese people.

Nope - things are going fine - this has been a "normal" cycle - and frankly, the one we had in the 80's was FAR WORSE than this one - FAR, FAR worse.

O.K. I deleted the post. But please don't keep saying that the boom goes on when it is obvious that Phoenix does not have the momentum that it had until 2006.

Who says there is a "boom"? Answer, no one.

But, you said we were a Ghost Town - that is laughable -

Things are rolling right along and even picking up.

2005 / 06 were anomalies. And, we have had them before

Commercial is booming more than in 05/06. There is a huge amount of construction going on in nearly every part of the city. But as projects complete fewer are taking their place and some have been put on hold for a while. Residential infrastructure work is returning as the commercial work slows. Nobody thinks the growth is over. This breather has been welcome in many ways as it allowed us to catch up on roads, schools, government buildings and other infrastructure that was badly lagging the residential growth. Growth areas in Goodyear, for example, only got dentists, doctors and pet groomers in the past year or so. The future is blindingly bright if growth is your cup of tea.

Its bad if you are a speculator in Real Estate, but the job market, economy and new business sector are booming in Phoenix. So if your only plan here is making money from growth then times are bad. If you are a professional in any other industry, you don't feel any of the "going down the drain" that exists for the housing industry.

Best And Worst Cities For Jobs - Forbes.com

"There is hope, though, especially for job prospects in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Riverside. "These are good fundamentally solid economies and should rebound strongly," says Zandi. Migration to these cities has tailed off, yet they still have some of the highest migration rates in the country. Las Vegas' economy is tied heavily to tourism and gaming, but Riverside and Phoenix have diverse economies, and the population for both metro areas now tops 4 million people."

I think I have posted stuff like this before, now I am starting to repeat myself! I guess when someone posts the same things over and over, the only replies can be...well the same as well.
