People I went to school with who had Husky executive parents were selling their homes and moving into apartments. Then it picked up some in the early 90s, crashed again around the mid 90s I think and has been on a high ever since. It's amazing who much that city has grown since I left in 94, but how much has stayed the same too. I never hated living there, in fact I liked it. Compared to housing costs here, I like it even more [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]
