Actually it's generalities that are depressing. Residential real estate is depressed; maybe office space? Agricultural land (what we used to call farmland) is doing quite well in the 3-state Marcellus shale gas frac[tur]ing boom. By next yr. a few more poisoned wells and bad waste water disposal practices and a jumpon by the EPA and it may not be. I sold my piece of southeastern Ohio to the speculators with "mineral rights" on the brain. Hope they get their 6k an acre out of it before it becomes a sidehill farm again (that is, if there's any water that's fit for human or livestock consumption).
