Many of the old social laws and networks have been devalued and new more effective networks are emerging. Interesting discussion, thanks.

Even well funded / capitalized builders will eventually fail if they don't provide what the market will buy. Social Darwinism at work. Don't we teach this in our IRM classes? :) See you in NY.

I agree that "only the strong builders, that is to say the builders that change with the changing market conditions will survive, still be around and benefit from the recovery once it starts. Thank you for sharing your post today. You do a GREAT job. Regards, Del Barbray Excellent post, Daniel
