      <![CDATA[If you look at a chart over the past 30 years of housing prices and commercial properties, you'll see this is just a dib that we've been through.<br />
<br />
And similar stories about the death of all such jobs happened back during all the previous dips too.<br />
<br />
The end of the world is not nigh.

      <![CDATA[@6: no, they're not suffering disproportionately. <br />
<br />
every housing developer is on life support and every project is at a standstill. i know some who've cut staff by 67%. and that's the last time i checked in with them.<br />
<br />
same for design firms.<br />
<br />
no one is doing anything but entitlements.

      <![CDATA[@4 I am curious, though.  Are the truly talented and forward-thinking developers and designers suffering disproportionately to the boring and repetetive developers and designers in this town?  It seems (also legally binding) to me that the shit-sandwich-eating is taking place pretty evenly across the board.

      <![CDATA[@ 1: uh, last time I checked, the construction, commercial development and real estate markets aren't exactly solvent right now. Perhaps that might be the reason for the problems these design and development firms are having. As someone who cares deeply about sustainable urban design, this is frustrating news. <br />
<br />
Oh, and if we *truly* had a free market system in this country, the feds wouldn't be bailing out our banks and auto companies (which in a roundabout way is presumably keeping your ass employed, right?).

      <![CDATA["Sadly, it seems the developers hit hardest by the recession are those producing some of the most interesting buildings."<br />
<br />
That's kind of an odd statement, isn't it?  Aside from the fact that "most interesting buildings" is such a subjective classification, do you have the numbers to back that claim up?
