How can Washington help business create jobs? It's the Big Question that Businessweek.com decided to ask 25 non-politicians across the country, including Robert Paul Properties' Paul Grover.
Paul is in good company, with a firefighter, an art director and a law professor along with CEOs and economists, the list of 25 also includes: Former US Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers, Talk Show Host Conan O'Brien, and Former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina.
When asked, "How would you get the government to help American business?" Paul said, "While uncertain investment returns are helping to stimulate a flight to high-quality real estate, I believe Washington's strongest contribution to business would be to instill some confidence in its citizens that both sides are working together for the good of the country. To suggest that the next election will resolve matters is an empty concept. The lack of responsible leadership from our elected officials is as much to blame for the current problems in American business as is anything else."

CapeCodOnline.com's Real Estate article - Seashore Transformed Housing Market - says that the creation of Cape Cod National Seashore did not only "protect the Outer Cape's natural environment, it raised property values by preserving the quality of life and reducing the housing stock. The downside is that the increased values make the area less affordable for working families."
The article states "the nearly 600 homes built before Sept. 1, 1959, whose ownership could be verified, were allowed to remain in the park. Owners could even sell properties or pass them on to their heirs." And restrictions include "3-acre minimum lot sizes, and the stipulation that homes only can be expanded by up to 50 percent of their original footprint."
CapeCodOnline.com spoke to Robert Paul Properties co-owner, Paul Grover, who along with his partner Robert Kinlin are leaders in the sale of waterfront properties across Cape Cod and South Coast of Massachusetts. “It's supply and demand, and the Seashore has reduced supply,” Paul said. “We really try to educate people about how fortunate we are to have the Seashore there, to know it's protected forever. As the Cape gets built up, as we've seen throughout the years, to be able to go to the Outer Cape and know the Seashore is in our backyard – to have that is a pretty nice thing.”
Cape Cod National Seashore under the National Park Service has 44,000 acres includes the great Outer Beach which in the last line of his book Cape Cod, Henry David Thoreau said it is where "A man may stand there and put all America behind him."

Robert Paul Properties is proud to continue its support of the Cahoon Museum of American Art as a "gold level" business partner and encourages all to join in support for one of America's treasured museums devoted to American Art that is located here on Cape Cod in Cotuit, Massachusetts.
The museum's building itself is historic, originally built in 1775 by the Crocker family; it once served as a tavern and way station for travelers on the Hyannis-Sandwich stagecoach line. In 1945 Ralph Cahoon and Martha Cahoon bought the house and became the most famous folk artists Cape Cod has ever produced.
The stately, Georgian colonial farmhouse now is home for a treasured collection of the folk paintings of the Cahoons, as well as a choice collection of 19th-century, 20th-century and contemporary American art. Highlights include folk portraits, maritime paintings, and landscapes. In addition, the museum has developed a fine reputation for presenting a lively schedule of changing exhibitions devoted to many aspects of American art.
Visit http://www.cahoonmuseum.org for their current and upcoming exhibition schedule - this year's theme is "Journeys: Emotional, Physical and Spiritual". There are also information about the museum's educational art workshops for adults, "get smART" classes for children, lecture series, and a variety of special events throughout the year. Cahoon Museum of American Art is located on 4676 Falmouth Road (Route 28) in Cotuit, MA.

Businessweek.com's Real Estate article - In America's Richest Small Towns: Big Sales Stall - leads with "Home values are down in many of the country's most exclusive small towns. Sagaponack is again the most expensive in U.S." It says that this oceanfront town on the East End of Long Island, New York with a year-round population of 582 is America's richest small town because its "median home values were $3,406,640, the highest in the nation".
There were big price declines and fewer high-end sales - the article states that "values dropped in 33 of the 50 most expensive small towns" that were identified as having the highest median home values with populations less than 10,000.
Businessweek.com noted that some well-known markets are less active and spoke to Robert Paul Properties co-owner, Paul Grover, who along with his partner Robert Kinlin are leaders in the sale of luxury and waterfront properties across Cape Cod and South Coast of Massachusetts. "Our really high-end market is almost frozen", and buyers do not seem to want to buy above the $6 million level. With Wall Street turning around, he anticipates that demand will pick up, "but we'll see it in New York first."

"What makes Cape Cod special is that it's a destination place in every sense of the term - a tranquil home for the many year-rounders and a magnetic getaway for summer residents," says Paul Grover, Co‑Founder of Robert Paul Properties in The New York Observer's special triannual real estate supplement Country, Mountain & Waterfront Properties (October 25, 2010).
Paul was asked if the Cape is really the right place for New Yorkers and he said, "Yes it certainly is; over the past few years we’ve witnessed an inflow of New York families purchasing and doing extended rentals. This is due to the buyer-friendly market, but also the attractive lifestyle afforded to all Cape dwellers by the local real estate.” Furthermore, the Cape has become increasingly accessible for New Yorkers with a high speed ferry service from Manhattan to Martha’s Vineyard and convenient flights offered by Cape Air."
He was then asked what else keeps buyers and renters coming back to Cape Cod; he responded "The plentiful offerings of Cape Cod include miles of unique shoreline amid landscapes that have been lauded by artists and writers for centuries. Aside from the Cape’s aesthetic beauty, there is no shortage of social appeal or cache.”
“...each town possesses an independent identity, rooted in a celebrated history shared by loyal residents. In summer, Cape Cod becomes a sailing mecca and many family-oriented yacht clubs offer an ideal venue for sailors of all ages and abilities. The proximity of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket makes for easy and exciting day trips and the Cape Cod Baseball League offers summer-long evening entertainment. Cape Cod is one of our nation’s crown jewels - an American destination."
