Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.

i would look for a pullback soon as interest rates slow construction and new home start ups. It all depends on the election. This is the year of chaos after all.
