\"Ya

\u201cPoop bags and flashlights have taken all the sport out of walking the dog at\u00a0night.\u201d<\/p><\/div>At the time the election was stolen, I advised people to count the cranes on their skylines. They weren’t there three years ago, and three years from now they’ll be gone again, shunted back to Obamaville.<\/p>\n

This is practical ontology, apprehending the universe with your own senses, so you cannot be fooled by testimony. If you don’t see trusses on trucks, no new houses are being built, regardless of the hype. If you don’t see cranes silhouetted against the sky, the big developers in your town are betting against your future.<\/p>\n

A new structure is a forward-looking hope derived from backward-looking portents. Want proof? Note how many of your becraned buildings-in-progress are multi-family housing. A year ago we learned why that bet might not be as fruitful as it had seemed \u2013 when the plans were made three years ago.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, the United States and all it myriad mini-states were operating in good order \u2013 a good time to plant new flags. Three years from now, who knows what will remain of America, its people or its currency? Projects already underway will be completed, at least for now, but the line for new building permits will grow shorter by the day.<\/p>\n

Who needs whom? Taxes, regulations and NIMBYs don’t even get their chance to destroy the future if investors are in despair…<\/p>\n
