In a bittersweet ending, we area all being sent off into Summer break with a lot of Real Estate Trends & Issues to think about. I don't think I'll have a problem having dreams about me drowning in a pool of distressed CMBS loans with a Shiner at hand....ahhh summer has arrived.
Lets knock it out, so here are a few of the articles that highlighted the conversations for tonight....
Texas Rail Plan Article
Makes pretty interesting point that when building massive highway systems, traffic “magically” appears, and without these concrete jungles, it is dispersed and essentially non-existent. TxDot has joined the National Rail Association along with 32 other states, but has missed out on recent Stimulus funds to gain ground on pushing more rail lines out.
Nation’s first High-Speed Rail Line breaks ground in San Francisco
San Francisco has begun groundbreaking on the nation’s first high speed rail, The Transbay Transit Center Project, a $4.2 billion project. After 40 years of planning, the project has begun and is slated to create 48,000+ jobs in the process. The innovative 5-story center will set the benchmark for the rest of our nation’s cities to follow.
IFMA Foundation & FMLink Website
Both website mentioned above have a plethora of information in regards to Sustainability and the savings it can create from a facilities management perspective.
Overall, this class has been a pleasant deviation from the normal MSRE program, and I would recommend it to anyone in the program.
Have fun in Germany/Ireland Dr. Forgey!!!
