Mary,

I just read the article - now, if the greater Youngstown metropolitan area can get
some more jobs available then people would relocate to the area because of the low
real estate prices.

One area where I disagree with the article is where it says that homes won't
appreciate in this area... with the 2010 plan, and more jobs, they will - it will
just take time.  I do believe that Youngstown is now on the right track for
recovery, however.

:)

Allan, i totally agree with jobs issues. This is a hard area to find a job to pay for the house! I can not tell you how many people i graduated with last year from YSU left the area because they could not find jobs here.
