John Burns People Quotations

We need to embrace the changes because it will expand the population of people who can vote.

This is a function of those companies seeing an opportunity to get in on the surging housing market. Obviously, the long-term demographics for people in their 50s and 60s play into this. Not everyone wants to live on a golf course in Florida.

There are a lot of people who can't afford to buy at today's prices. It looks to me like the market is headed for a soft landing.

Eventually this will save us money by eliminating the old paper ballots. It's always been hard to estimate how many people will vote and plan to have enough ballots printed. That problem should be eliminated. We've had a trash barrel full of ballots left over because we had too many ballots printed and then have a low voter turnout.

Voting should go quickly once people learn how to use the touch screen. It's better in a whole lot of ways than printed ballots. An election can be certified in two days. It should also minimize recounts. The old paper ballot machines would sometimes miscount the ballot and sometimes two ballots would go through instead of one. The touch screen will leave a paper audit trail and recover everything each voter does.

It's all supply and demand. There is no change in the demand in housing, the demand for landlords is not changing. But more people are looking for tenants. That's when the investment becomes speculative.

Don't hustle old people.
