That's not true at all.
In July of 2010 here on GFY I started a thread called "How the recession effected my hometown". I detailed - with photos - how bad everything was during the recession in my hometown. I even detailed that we had twenty houses on my street - ten of them were empty, and five others had for sale signs in front of them. I documented everything with photos - houses on my street, brand new shopping centers empty, an entire grid of condo units laid out but never built, and a restaurant a few blocks away where they put up the walls but never put the roof...
Most of the pictures aren't online any more, but this was one of the two condo complexes that in the process of being built, everything laid out, but then nothing happened for years...
This was a Wendy's that shut down...
This was the thread from 2010:

It's too bad the pictures are no longer on my sever - would have been interesting to follow up on. The condo complex - both of them - eventually did get built. The Wendy's eventually became a Taco Bell. The restaurant they were building... They eventually tore it down and never did put anything there. The new shopping center did mostly filled.
We've also started rebuilding in my hometown. Another "village" went up recently, and just last week they started on yet another "village".
