Default Question for everybody

sort of a non scientific poll:

What part of the country (or which country) do you live in and how do you rate the local economic condition:

1) Good
2) Fair
3) Bad
4) Horrible

Central Texas. (Does not count Dallas or Houston).

Good economy. Better than average U.S.

Jobless rate is about 7%.
New companies are moving into Austin / Round Rock.
Home values only went down a very small amount.
Fewer foreclosures than most of the U.S.

I have heard the areas that are doing well are parts of texas, new orleans area, nebraska and north dakota. Also, like you mentioned, hoising did not skyrocket in those areas

Unhappy Economy

Northern Ky/Cinci Ohio area. I would say BAD condition.
Jobless rate is over 10% Cinci home values down 30/40%.
Many foreclosures esp in Cinci mainly due to job loss but some areas
way over priced homes too which have lost value and are now "under water".
Ky a bit less so as home values weren't as high.
Increased crime especially in inner cities but somewhat spreading to suburbs.
