I would hope that these two industries continue to pave the way and help fuel regional growth, but I don’t really like to speculate too much.

The high rent growth has been supported by low vacancy and a lot of build-to-suit office inventory vs speculative developments.

However, what Fundrise tries to do is take your investment and split it up into all of their funds, some of which are engaging in much riskier strategies such as more speculative value add or opportunistic.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/General-Growth-files-for-rb-14945510.htmlNEW YORK (Reuters) - General Growth Properties Inc, the second-largest U.S. mall owner, declared bankruptcy on Thursday in the biggest real estate failure in U.S. history.Ending months of speculation, General Growth, along with 158 of its 200-plus U.S. malls, filed Chapter 11 while it tries to refinance its debts.But the ongoing global financial crisis made it impossible for General Growth to restructure outside of bankruptcy and could signal further troubles for other financial institutions who are General Growth creditors.The collapse underscores the pressure on U.S. commercial real estate with few sources of available funding.Chicago-based General Growth, which owns such valuable properties as South Street Seaport in New York, Fashion Show in Las Vegas and Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, listed total assets of $29.56 billion and total debts of $27.29 billion.The collapse marks a sad chapter for a company that has been growing since 1954, when brothers Martin and Matthew Bucksbaum decided to expand their family's grocery business and build a shopping center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.The company expanded steadily through both building and buying malls, the largest acquisition being the 2004 purchase of high-end mall owner Rouse Cos for $14.2 billion.

Whether the place you live in will become warmer or colder will depend on a number of factors and scientists do not know enough to predict that.Here's an article from the Woods Hole institute that speculates that the North-Eastern part of North America and the Western part of Europe will actually become colder due to global warming.http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?

I speculate he or she will be more vigilant about maintaining credit due to working so long and hard to repair his or her credit damage: Versus simply getting a quick fix from a credit repair company (if there even is such a thing as a quick fix) I am not referring to the minority credit repair case; divorce, identity theft victims, etc...
