State Of The State Of Az

Is that the nick name for NW Ark Regional airport / XNA?
I like the small airports better than the behemoths like LAX.

Anyway this is about AZ I thought. I flew into Phoenix once, but don't remember the airport.
Or was it the one that was like a giant tin can inside?

Sky Harbor International. Its fairly nice as far as big airports go IMHO

Sky Harbor International.

OK, I had to look it up. Some interesting architecture.
But, big? It's a relative term I guess, so OK.

Pretty sure Phoenix does not have a skid row to compare to L.A.

Now that is a hell hole and a huge black eye on the city and county. Embarrassing and fubar, Mr Mayor.

Anyway, back to AZ.

The homeless die in the Summer months in Phoenix and many get a ride to San Diego and Los Angeles to survive the weather : ) LOL

10th busiest airport in the country (per Wikipedia). I know it not as big as LAX , but yes, its a big airport. Didn't know you were into 'airport' measuring contests.

Yeah, unfortunately, homeless people are vulnerable to all elements, heat in Phoenix, freezing cold in New York, and disdain in So Cal.

I didn't know that.
Wasn't trying to diss your airport.
LAX is a nightmare, but I can't always fly out of Burbank.
Small is better for an airport. imho. You can get in and out easier.

I agree. Used to fly into LAX for business all the time and hated it. Then they moved their office from LA to Irvine and I started flying into John Wayne. Much quicker to get into and out of.

Loving AZ and as airports go Sky Harbor ain't bad, but I will miss using the Monterey Peninsula Airport. That was convenience with a capital C. You just had to get used to seing the same face check you in, take your bag, load your bag and wishy you a safe trip.

I remember the Midland-Odessa AP & watching jackrabbits scatter along the airport runway.

Appraisal licensing is controlled by the AQB and is a national level issue, not state. Whether he likes it or not, there is nothing Ducey can do about it. He cannot eliminate appraisal licensing nor make it harder/easier to be licensed. I imagine he is focused on lessor licensing, such as cosmetologists, general business licensing, etc..

Not sure how the turmoil at the top of DFI will affect appraisers.

The states are free to eliminate appraiser licensing if they so choose as the Federal government simply does not have the constitutional authority to require the states to license appraisers (or most anything else for that matter). However, if AZ or any other state chooses to eliminate the licensing of appraisers, then the way federal law is written, the GSEs will not be able to purchase or guarantee loans in AZ.
