Again, it's not a NYC or a London or a Singapore or a San Francisco as there is no significant industry that will keep attracting a high turnover of young, talented people.

It's a one-stop shop for luxury living, and that can only go on for so long.

But hey, let's build more condos.
if your population is nice girl with a dog then you should build more condos.
the long-term prospect could be, it's a city for single people and certain posh single people will move there. Like Lower Manhattan.
