Bird aviary, hotel among development to transpire at OdySea in the Desert. First there was a “butterfly pavilion, aquarium and a dolphinarium”; now there are plans for “a bird observatory, dinosaur park and a hotel” — not to mention a “-5 degree… environment called Polar Play.” According to Scottsdale Independent,“lead developer Dr. Amram Knishinsky… says [his ‘ultimate goal’]… is to offer families a place to come and be able to stay on the property for two to three days, entertained by the multiple attractions offered.” It sounds like such a happy place, it almost makes you want to shout “I’m goin’ to KnishinskyLand!” Much more about it here: http://bit.ly/2k3owTX

Houses are the least affordable they’ve been in seven years: Here’s why.CNBC’s Diana Olick looks at what’s “adding up to a triple threat for the housing market this spring” — how it “could be the tightest market ever for homebuyers,” and why “the ingredients for a reversal are not there anytime soon.” http://bit.ly/2lrhZiT

Conventionally financed new home sales reach nine-year high in 2016.“70.8% of new home sales in 2016 were financed with conventional products…” Eye On Housing sifts through conventional, FHA, and VA loan data along with cash-based transaction figures from an “NAHB analysis of the… Quarterly Sales by Price and Financing published by the Census Bureau.” http://bit.ly/2kIca0y

What’s next for Coyotes in search for new arena? “The death of an ASU deal and the loss of a location that the Coyotes considered optimal [the NW corner of McClintock Drive and Rio Salado Parkway on Karsten Golf Course] was met with a mixture of dismay and cynicism by media and Coyotes fans…” However, KTAR reports that the Coyotes still have ‘four or five options’… aside from remaining at Gila River Arena in Glendale.” http://bit.ly/2k3rF18

Read the report from Capitol Media Services’ Howard Fischer, in Arizona Daily Star. http://bit.ly/2kn0saL

Arizona Supreme Court hears Horne appeal. “Arguing that Yavapai County Sheila Polk impermissibly acted as judge, jury and executioner in their campaign finance case, lawyers for former Attorney General Tom Horne and his ally Kathleen Winn urged the… Court to throw out a $400,000 fine for their alleged violation… Assistant Yavapai County Attorney Benjamin Kreutzberg argued that Polk’s role in the case was perfectly permissible.” But, according Arizona Capitol Times, the justices weren’t buying it, including Justice Clint Bolick, who likened “the system Polk used “ to “the New England Patriots asking the Atlanta Falcons to rule on their penalties in Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup.” More on the case here: http://bit.ly/2k3HK6K
