We don't have a worker shortage, we have a housing shortage. Our rooms are our product, and we can't tie up our product.

There's far greater demand now in Kent County for housing than there is current supply and that has driven the price up.

Our free enterprise system can create affordable housing. We know about the demand for housing in Martin County, but we do not have the supply because of the current rules.

Supply exceeded demand. If everyone offered their houses for sale then prices would drop. There is just no fundamental economic reason behind the recent drops.

In the big picture, the whole world at every level, micro, macro, physiological, psychological, material, economical, spiritual, all are a demand-supply problem.

That's our biggest challenge out here because, as you know, they are taking down the affordable housing complexes and they certainly aren't building any new ones.
