		<description>Hi Mark,

Thanks for the comment.  While neither defending nor admonishing Sharpe&#039;s rail initiative, his public stance is that he has been involved in some business development issues in the recent past and Tampa has been given low marks due to a lack of adequate public transportation. He feels the lack of light rail has cost the area significant opportunities. He cites World Cup, Olympic, Super Bowl, Republican National Convention and various company relocation efforts.  Some of that negative commentary has been echoed publicly by officials.  In other instances, you would have to take the word of Mr Sharpe, if you were to accept the criticisms as authentic.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a fan of Iorio, but in my opinion light rail proposals are for &quot;sucker&quot; cities.  Jersey City NJ, Cleveland, Boston, Detroit, you name it:  A light rail is an excuse for an expensive boondoggle that goes remarkably unused, but not before clogging up streets and exacting a price from everyone&#039;s wallet.  Mr. Sharpe is a bureaucrat in the public sector, so where does he get this magical knowledge of &quot;what it takes&quot; to compete?  The idea that some train that only goes along (one narrow track of favored property owners) at 20mph is somehow what the city is yearning for is just laughable.  Funny how such bureacrats never come up with obvious ideas for improving regional economics, like pushing for offshore drilling, or building a (real, 200mph) high speed rail straight across the everglades to Miami.  (Oh no! - a big idea that the self proclaimed defenders of the super swamp won&#039;t like... run away.)</description>

		<description>Thank you, Adrianna.  @NNNFlorida, I think this is the watershed year.  The banks are itchy to do SOMETHING about their troubled assets.</description>

		<description>The value of American housing sales in 2007 was $1.15 trillion with a total volume of some 5.85 million homes. More than 28 percent of these houses were purchased by average Americans for the explicit purpose of renting the home to a tenant.</description>
