Hi Carnet,I live in a competitive market and fast growing economy luckily.But I've been analyzing and doing offers out of state on a particular set of statistics that I see happening.From Boston west, there are minimal multiplexes/rentals- there are high end towns- so i looked on the outskirts of these primarily single family towns and saw massive growth- from there I tied back public transportation and local amenities. two places could be the same distance from Boston and border a high end residential town but not have its own public transit tied to Boston and differ significantly.Another tip is watching the big developers.

Solar requires mining for resources, transportation, manufacture, more transportation, installation, and maintenance.

I wonder about trucking/transport/shipping now, because this appears to be a weak link in the big picture equation.

Lots of accessible public transportation to the city from each area.
