The simple fact is this area has way too much money to ever really see the correction other metropolitan areas like Las Vegas are seeing. When you have people who have worked for the federal government for 30 years and have very little risk of losing their jobs, it makes it very hard for there to be any massive correction.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
