Housing Crisis’s Mainstream Media Lead of the Day

For all the [deserved] grief journalists on the business/real estate beat are getting for not “getting” how to read the monthly and seasonal data correctly, there has to be some consolation.

We’ve joked over the years about hiring many reporters who “couldn’t do the math” but know how to report and write.

Well, this lead-in to an article in the Fort Meyers, Fla. News Press suggests that what they lack in data analysis skills sometimes is offset by really clever writing. We’ll take note of this sort of thing; and if an analyst/blogger writes something clever as well, it will qualify. Calculated Risk made note of this call-out.

Victor Vangelakos lives in a luxury condominium tower on the Caloosahatchee River. He never has to worry about the neighbors making too much noise.

There are no neighbors.
