Recovered from Hurricane "Charley," Punta Gorda Walloped by Hurricane "Republican Deregulated Business"

Pain Street USA:

One such place is Punta Gorda, Fla. In Moody's outlook, prices there will undergo the steepest correction of any U.S. market. From their peak during the first three months of 2006, to their bottom, forecast for the second quarter of 2009, prices will decline 35.3 percent. That's in nominal dollars; adjusted for inflation, the loss will be even greater.
