Quote from peilthetraveler:
Todays fastest growing city can easily turn into tommorrows ghost town. I moved to Las Vegas in 1997 and it was the fastest growing city several years in a row. (I think it went down to the #2 spot in 2005) Anyway...I left that year and apparently, so did half the city. Today Vegas is a virtual ghost town. They say that something like 81% of mortgages are underwater in Vegas. Be wary of cities that are fast growing...they can turn into the fastest declining cities overnight.
