Apparently, the apartment building business here in DFW has seen the biggest business boom the apartment building business has ever seen in the history of history. If there are 2 blades of grass growing together here in DFW, rest assured that there's going to be a multi-family dwelling built on it. So true

Plenty of people still spending money, lots of new businesses and growth in Oklahoma, long term everything looks good.

The local Burger King closed, but not due to a lack of business. It's because the guy who owned it and several other locations was a weapons grade idiot with his money.
Housing market has slowed from the 0% interest frenzy. It's now what I would call normal. Retail and restaurants (other than BK) seem fine.

It's either going to be homes, apartments, retail or all of the above. As far as traffic, apartments are the worst. Many more people per square foot.

Things are booming around here at least as far as housing and retail construction. I have noticed new houses are taking a few weeks to sell, vs being sold before being completed. The boom might be getting a little long in the tooth at this point, hard to tell. Being retired I pay little attention to the local job market. People in my town are either simply not selling ….or the houses sell so fast a sign doesn’t stay in the yard for more than a day or two. Judging from all the UHaul and Ryder trucks I see….they sell that fast! Non-stop construction in Northern Ellis Co.

My home is going on the market Monday. Hope it goes quick as we found our dream home and have a contingent offer.
