Oil ?

Gentrification can only push city heights towards lemon grove, city heights folks are already priced out of all the other neighborhoods that surround the area (north park, normal heights, kensington/talmdage, rolando/el cerrito, la mesa) .

Well, when life hands you lemons, you mix those with some vodka and have a cocktail.  

I work very very very hard 7 days a week 12 to 16 hour shifts for 10 months of the year.With the price of oil doing what it is I see only a gurenteed 2 more years of work then nothing on the projected forecast.

I am sure San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston all have their stories but I believe in the long term sustainability of Austin via its non-oil-based job growth.

The only "con" I see at this time is the lower oil price causing some job market softening in Houston, but the impact so far has been small.

The guru's snake oil is only a commodity so far as you let it be.In the couple of examples I am going to share, I suspect some of the folks I have interacted with will relate to the examples.

Do your homework, make sure you ask the right questions, and anyone you work with should be able to give you hard scientific data, if they have a sophisticate and well oiled operation.Feel free to inbox me or email me with any questions.

The one thing they are no longer able to OK that throws some folks is free standing electric heaters that circulate oil, which are now considered a fire hazard as they retain heat and could potentially cause a fire if they fell over.

Many emerging markets have been struggling and the middle east and oil countries have been punished by low oil prices.
