VIEWPOINTS
Will Florida’s market recover
faster than the rest of the
nation?
“Florida always recovers faster than
most other states because we have a
very dynamic population. There are a
lot of reasons for people to live in
Florida. It is more than sunshine.
We’ve got great educational institutions and great housing that’s gotten
more affordable.”
—Eric Swanson
Flagler
“Some Florida markets are recovering
faster. Some of them didn’t get overbuilt. Just because Florida has had
problems doesn’t mean it will continue
to have these problems forever. People
still want to live and work here.”
—Edgar Jones
Rockefeller Group Development Corp.
“Florida has got to come up with tax
incentives to attract different industries. We’ve got to come up with an
employment makeup that’s not heavily reliant on service and real estate
construction. These issues don’t paint
a rosy glass-half-full vision for the
near future.”
