What's the address or intersection it's near.

It sits pretty well on regional transportation hubs (intersection of I-35 and I-80) but more importantly has that 'nexus' feel looking out the next 20-40 years where I can see how Ames/Ankeny sit relative to the DSM area doing a bit like what's going on down on the I-4 corridor in Central Florida. 

Road widening, intersection improvements, etc.

Where do subway and glass/stone mosaic intersect?

I recommend you ask for Mark Davitz at the branch on West main at the intersection of Frank Scott Parkway West.

The 4-plex is on a corner lot of a moderate traffic intersection.

For example, if you drive though your targeted neighborhoods and there's 20 Bandit Signs at each intersection, well...

If your place is south of the 10-10/50 intersection parallel, that may explain your experience.

For me good job availability and affordable housing had to intersect. 

Both in what it claims are real numbers on its wholesales (ARV and "repair cost"), to its claims on the hundreds of bandit signs (illegal) your company has its very new and inexperienced sales force placing at every corner of every intersection around town.I understand if you do not want someone who knows real estate as numbers as well as a business and construction cost, who is outspoken, attending.
