I understand what you are saying here but it is difficult to do that and alert the people in this country to what is going on.Walter Concrite is quoted as saying:"It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace," he said.

These types of cracks should be repaired (anchors or kevlar strips) and the pressure issue should be alleviated;- Vertical cracks often indicate a shifting in the foundation, and depending on the cause of the shift and the severity, it may or may not need to be repaired;- The most common types of cracks in my experience are "step cracks" that follow a pattern from top to bottom that look like stairs (over one cinderblock, down one cinderblock, over, down, etc).

There is a difference between core urban centers and suburban to rural areas.In core markets is where recovery starts to happen first.It takes a much longer time for suburban to rural areas to recover.Most purchasers are not including rent increases for B or C product for the next 2 to 3 years in their cash flow analysis for purchase.What most apartment players I talk to are concerned about is increasing utility costs for commodities and upcoming inflation in the market.There are not many deals to be had in my core market but more in the suburban to rural areas.For class A core market product most definitely CAPS have gone lower and demand is higher.Developers for class A space aren't stupid.The ones I have had meetings with are in a holding pattern to time the market just right to build the ground up development.They are waiting for more liquidity and better terms to build and more pent up demand to lease up phases of their project faster.If they started building too much product right now it would impede their balance sheets too much as a company.Typical developers build 250 to 300 units at a time in my area and map out 2 to 3 sites in the area for phases 1,2,and 3 built over a 5 year horizon.So I wouldn't get to overexcited.
