laguna niguel real estate: OC's Toll Roads Report Decrease in Traffic - 05/15/08 08:24 AM
In today's OC economy, even the toll roads are facing a downturn in business. With the slow economy and rising gas prices the traffic on the toll roads has been decreasing. The San Joaquin Toll way has taken a 2% loss from last year. This is their second year in a row reporting losses. The 91 Express Lanes shows a 6% loss and the Foothill/Eastern Toll way is down 3%.
My feeling is that if they didn't continue to raise the toll price people might be able to see the bonus of actually taking the toll roads.

laguna niguel real estate: Is Ex-Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan to Blame for Housing and Credit Crunch? - 04/09/08 07:07 AM
Mr. Greenspan doesn't think so.  He said that he had little to do with the housing bubble or credit crisis despite criticism that the Fed kept interest rates too low under his watch.
In an interview, Greenspan contended that low interest rates had nothing to do with the run up in housing prices and then collapse of the market. Housing prices, he said, would have gone up anyway whether or not short-term interest rates were low.
What is fairly clear in the case from the data, is that if adjustable rate mortgages weren't available, the purchases (of homes) still would've occurred," he said.
Under Greenspan … (3 comments)
