Good News du Jour
Real estate is a local business. You’ll hear that from the wisest and best players in the industry.
So while things may be bad coast-to-coast, there are flickers of cheer here and there.
Like in Boise.
The good news is Boise is that Chinese drywall is, er, not there. On Idahostatesman.com the story is this. “Tainted Drywall from China Likely Not in Valley.”
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and the Central District Health said they have received no complaints of illness related to imported drywall from China.
The drywall is being blamed for letting off bad odors, corroding pipes and possibly making people sick in the Southeast.
Home Depot, which has several stores in the Treasure Valley, said it never bought the Chinese material.
“The company has not and does not sell drywall made in China or other overseas sources,” Home Depot said in a statement. “Simply, shipping drywall from such a distance is not cost-effective for us or our customers and is a practice we have not pursued.”
Which proves a journalistic rule: “A slow news day is a terrible thing to waste.”
