Alex,
I found your site several months go and I am hooked! I can’t go a day without checking out your latest insight into our market place. Like you, I am bullish on Vegas! Keep it up.

PS Nice project at Manhattan West!

Hi Alex,

Your market analysis is similar to what we are telling our clients and Blogging about. The National Media doesn’t “think local” – they just look out across the country and “see national” problems with a “chicken little” mentality that doesn’t recognize what is occurring in Las Vegas. We agree with most of what you are telling your audience and will point to your Blog from ours. Keep up the good work…….

We don’t claim that “you cannot believe anything the media reports”. Most of what the media reports is accurate. Much of it, however, is presented in a biased way, because bad news sells better than good news. We unabashedly will continue to selectively pick out the positive news and highlight the mistakes in the negative reporting. We’re not journalists here. We’re rabid optimists. If you don’t like it, don’t worry: you’ve got a lot of negative journalism you can choose from on other sites like “Housing Doom”, “Housing Apocalypse” and “Housing Armageddon.com”. Cheers.

Alex, you cannot have it both ways, when the media reports negative news you state “you cannot believe anything the media reports” BUT when the news is positive you flaunt all their reports basically saying see ‘I told you so, I told you the market is in full recovery!!’ your blog is nothing less than crazy propaganda imitating a high school pep rally.

I’ve been tracking the Las Vegas real estate market for quite some time. If you’re not excited now, you never will be. NOW IS THE TIME!! I’m glad someone sees things the way I do. See you at Elixir. Thanks Alex!

As always there are two ways to look at things – and the major media outlets are always looking at it from the “glass is half empty” side of things – nothing like a crisis or disaster to sell news papers.

Thankfully – there are web sites like this, and folks like you out there say WAIT A MINUTE – there is another way to look at things and here is why.

Thanks and keep spreading the good news!
