I am always shocked when I hear the media complaining that the number of new homes being constructed is way down. They act like this is bad news. I think that limited home construction in 2008 is GOOD NEWS. We need to basically stop all new home construction for three years!
If the corrupt city and county planning boards would not have approved so many new homes in 2000 to 2006, in our communities we would not be where we are today. Places like Arizona, CA, FL and GA have allowed way to many homes to be built and now there is a surplus of empty homes.
In what metro area are they still building lots of new homes?
In Albuquerque there is a scarcity of homes for the surplus of people who want to live/move there... the waiting lists for homes are out of this world, homes are still being built.. just not as fast or as many..
Not so fast... A friend who worked for a home building company in Richmond was laid off the other day due to "a drastic reduction in home sales" in the area.

drastic reduction doesn't mean homes aren't still being built. i can drive around the area and find plenty of neighborhoods just now being built
Little Rock, AR is still building. Quite a few new companies are locating here.
