Here’s an article about Greg Smith, our County Assessor. Is he on the side of the taxpayers or on the side of the developers? His wife is a Realtor. He’s not getting my vote.

“It’s a buyer’s market,” says Greg Smith, “period.”
Greg Smith, county assessor/recorder/clerk, is delivering a clear message: Now is the time to buy a home in San Diego.
This real estate booster isn’t an agent or an analyst. He’s Greg Smith, perhaps San Diego’s most obscure politician. But that doesn’t mean he’s quiet.
The emphatic Smith has undertaken a “no-bubble” campaign to tout what he sees as a vibrant housing market at a time of great uncertainty in the industry. He speaks two to three times a week to community groups, such as Rotary clubs, and real estate industry groups. The message he proclaims: now is a good time to buy in San Diego.
“I think the fundamentals are strong,” he said. “We don’t have a recession, we have job growth — I don’t see the dark clouds out there, I really don’t.”
