Henry Ford had the clearest vision of why companies can actually benefit by paying higher wages.

The real story in housing will be a recovery in the economy that will drive a recovery in housing, When people are working, when there are more jobs, more households forming and people go back to buying cars, they're going to want their apartments and homes.
