How do jobs, and wages, and corporate perception playing a role?

Lastly, perhaps changing your perception to their negativity may help.

My point was, it appears, based on anecdotal evidence (which is the same evidence you provided), that the PM industry, has at a minimum, a perception problem. 

As my mother says perception is 100% reality.

New investors and even old salts that rely on odd, specific disclosures that attempt to avoid rules won't really fly, might give a perception to the underdog they have no recourse, but not to an attorney.

Its blind of race, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight and all of the other words we use to describe who  we are and what our societal manifesto is. 

Perception.

See Ohio  FLA CA. and more states will start as well its a trend.2. because so many undercapitalized or new investors see this as a way to make cash the reasons there are so many complaints and the states are perking up is many who do not have any money any experience tie up property and basically fib to the owners and then walk with weasel clauses.. there by in the perception of the sellers and regulators damaging said seller.we all buy low or we hope we do and we try to sell high or we hope too..

But I did not post this to convince you to invest in San Diego but to correct a common perception of many people.  

I honestly don’t know but it’s been my perception lately that users is growing much faster than units.
