October 19, 2011
| Or is it partly sunny?

| Although sectors like transportation and infrastructure investment have slowed, residential is slowly strengthening, he tells us. We only saw 6,000 units constructed from '08 to '09, down from the peak of30,000. This year will improve, though nowhere in the range we saw a few years ago. Queens and Manhattan are strongest, whileBrooklyn is coming back (to quote Jay-Z, "Brooklyn, we back on the map") and the Bronx is showing more positive signs. Want to learn more?
