So what gives (and how much)? Find out in RED News. http://bit.ly/2FtQfqB
Mobile home park near Scottsdale on tribal land faces closure after 50 years. “[O]fficials with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community told The Arizona Republic they do not intend to renew the [lease allowing the resort to operate on the tribal land] once it expires in 2019 … As a result, the residents will be forced to find another place to live.” As for “future development” of the 40 acres along 92nd Street, just south of McDowell and east of the 101? Tribal officials are “leaving their options open.” http://bit.ly/2tlyGUN
Home features buyers consider essential. A front porch? Garage storage? A walk-in closet? “A recent [NAHB] poll asked prospective first-time and second-time+ home buyers which features they considered essential in their next home.” The results in Eye On Housing. (BTW, we conducted our own poll here at Dealmaker HQ, asking the crack staff in our Snark Dept. what THEY think are essential home features. The No. 1 response was “walls” followed by “electrical outlets,” “windows” then “some sort of floor.”) http://bit.ly/2H8xC92
How could import tariffs affect housing? NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun; LBM Journal editor and publisher, Rick Schumacher; and economists surveyed by the University of Chicago — all hold dim views on the proposed tariffs. What about Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross? He expressed himself on CNBC last week, using “a can of Campbell Soup.” His views on the matter? Let’s just say that he thinks the proposed tariffs are “Mmm Mmm Good.” In DSNews. http://bit.ly/2tgMDDG

The road to better roads. “A coalition of Republicans and Democrats are pushing legislation that would create a new highway safety fee for [Arizona] motorists.

But, in a roundabout way, the fee is really about paying for road construction and repairs.” AZCentral. http://bit.ly/2FxQb9c
Football’s brain injury crisis lands in family court. With scientific studies indicating a link between “repeated blows to the head” and “long-term brain damage” in football players, “parents’ concerns are surfacing in legal battles between divorced couples, leading to an increase in fights over whether to amend custody orders to prevent their children from playing the game.” In the New York Times. http://bit.ly/2FjTLo4
‘Wall Street Journal’ goes in-depth on Sinema. “Can a onetime Nader-supporting ‘bomb thrower’ win Arizona’s Senate seat? Democrats hope so. Rep.
