The prospect of going to school for 10 years, amassing huge amounts of debt, and entering a field where you are not in control over what your "product" is worth has cast a lot of doubt on their prospects for the future.

I recently had an outpatient procedure done on a knee at a local Orthopedics office. The bill for that procedure exceeded $4,000. With Medicare and secondary insurance payments all in, the doctor's net was less than 600 bucks. Again, this is something going on all over the country...not just here in the bubble.
Maybe not some much shade, but lack of updated information about the medical facilities they were going to build down South. Seems to be anything that would negatively affect new home sales doesn't see the light of day. I remember when they used the southern hospital as a pawn in the whole impact fee fiasco.
