Dennis Smith Quotations

We're not a large water holder. We're a storage area that has been abused for years and years.

Las Vegas will never again be viewed as an affordable housing market by the 'working class' as it was just five years ago.

On our farm here, we're using about (12,000) to 15,000 gallons a year. You can do the math on that. It's a substantial increase in money.

If they think prices are going to take off again like they did in 2004, they're in for a long wait. That ain't gonna happen. The status of our market is not so dependent on what goes on in Las Vegas this year, but it's dependent on what goes on in California. We've already seen markets over there hit the wall in San Diego and Orange County and other places, too.

Builders will face more challenges with density and land prices, and with all these public builders, they can go out and scour the countryside for ideas from other cities. Smaller builders will follow suit. If they are affordable, why would people not buy them?

I get tired of everyone trying to push this and make money off it. What about quality of life?

If the builder is going to try and resell in a couple of years, he is not going to build a slum. Ten years ago, affordable housing accounted for 80 percent of the market; today, it's only 5 percent. We need affordable housing. And this is going to be a way to get people into housing affordably.

He tried for the win with the Peterson and he gets put on his back. It's a shame for Jimmy because he's wrestling their kid tooth and nail and he gets pinned at the end. People won't understand when they see that -- it was a really good battle.

It all starts with the price of the land. Show me another market that is selling land for $700,000 an acre that's not looking at the ocean. We don't have enough, and it's priced too high.

I think most of the big builders will struggle to meet last year's totals. Any time you have interest rates on the rise, you're going to have higher cancellation rates.

I would like us to do something. I think it's important for the future of the city.

We came from the south, on Highway 17, from the Tea area, along the south section line, into the campgrounds area to this lot,

We all knew it was going to slow down sooner or later. The cycle is on the downward slope of the peak, but we're going to be OK.

We talked to our doctor and had him tested and he said he definitely did not have ADHD.

It would have to rain like it did Sunday eight more times to do any good.

The smoke could be seen from miles away.

saw some people in distress across the river near the Mexican bank, and that was reported up through Border Patrol channels and relayed to Mexican officials.

Any loss of life is tragic, and you know we want people to be safe out there.

A year ago, I think I filled my tanks in the $1.15, ($1.18) range, and this year, we're pushing $2.25 to $2.30.

It's a guessing game. You don't know if this is long term or whether it's not going to be long term.

It's under investigation and there really aren't any details we can release.

There was an accelerated move to the downside late last week -- traders were a little too aggressive in their short positions.

He sets the tone for everyone. He's a leader and he expects everyone else to step up to the plate just like he does.

You can't afford to feed $100 per bale for cattle feed.
