I think now that the city population has exceeded 65,000, the commercial-retail growth is beginning to become a little bit hotter.

There's been a tremendous decline of the Jewish population in the central part of the county, with tremendous growth in the south and some growth in the north.

I'm not sure the Catholic population necessarily goes along with everything that comes down from on high. Look at the debate over abortion and birth control.

I think the housing market certainly fired up real quick, maybe too quickly, and now it's probably just dying down to an ember.

Yes, it was a good year. It could have been a lot better.

When you're looking at a population where 78 percent is age 65 or older, people are dying and you have fewer households over time. Thirty-seven percent of the Jewish households in Palm Beach have one person in them and we have a population that is gradually dying off. There's not a lot of development happening on the island. The Jews moving into the county now are going to Boynton Beach. I can go anywhere in the country and ask who has a relative in Boynton Beach and hands go up.
