Very provocative thread.  Thanks to the various participants. I live in ground zero of the immigration debate.  And am frustrated our local political failures relating to Mexico and the immigration question.  SB 1070 and Sheriff Joe and his posse have done nothing other than cauterize and frankly embarrass Arizona in terms of attracting and driving interstate commerce.

Happily, sentiment seems to be slowly shifting and I am now seeing political leadership beginning to  embrace economic development with our huge southerly neighbor - in many instances with support from Canadian investors doing business in Arizona.

Back to CNY.    Someone earlier talked about the stately $250k homes and avoiding the scattered Walmart, Waffle House societies which litter the sound - and I admit, the Southwest.    There remains a lot to be said for CNY.  Not the least of which are the many, many exceptional universities within a 200 mile radius.  Not to mention, natural gas, proximity to Canada.   And don't laugh, it's northern location.  Sometime read about what expectations are in Arizona in 2050, in terms of climate change.  I'd argue that components of the CNY economy - and possibly real estate are a contrarian investors dream - from a long term, macro perspective.

Just some loose thoughts early in he morning out west.

LGO!
