There's a new trend in housing developments and it's not good for the average consumer. Basically, if a developer wants to build a new housing development that doesn't yet have infrastructure (roads, water pipes, electricity, gas, etc.) the area government is allowing the developer to borrow the money to create the infrastructure and then pass the debt onto the homebuyer.

Not Too Early Big XII Hoops Predictions: No. 7, BYU
The BYU Cougars will probably be the deepest team in the Big XII, and outside of Houston, no other squad will have as much roster continuity. What they don't have, however, is coaching continuity. Kevin Young takes over for Mark Pope who was poached by Kentucky. Young has next to no college coaching experience but was the associate head coach of the Phoenix Suns in his last stop. Given that the difference between power conference college basketball and the NBA has narrowed dramatically, Young's NBA experience could prove beneficial. However, the college game is far more physical than the NBA--according to no less than Stan Van Gundy--and BYU's downfall last year was a lack of physical and mental toughness. I'm convinced much of BYU's softness traced to Pope, and if Young can instill some toughness in the Cougars, they could go far this season.
