height=185></H1>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Changing demographics and consumer
demand, a struggling economy and the possible restructuring of land use
policies could significantly alter the traditional American Dream of
single-family home ownership in the suburbs.</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>A younger, less affluent
population more interested in living close to mass transit and near work,
shopping and other amenities could significantly alter future housing
demand and home ownership. That could require changes in zoning and a
greater emphasis on mixed use development in core Inland areas, says
<STRONG>Steve Johnson,</STRONG> Director of the Southern California Region
for Metrostudy, a leading provider of primary and secondary market
information to the housing, retail and related industries
nationwide.</FONT></P>

<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Mr. Johnson will examine the
current housing market in Southern California and the Inland region, and
discuss some of the complex forces that are expected to shape the housing
industry in future years, including housing features and pricing
strategies; environmental and infrastructure constraints; changes in
zoning and development fees and availability of construction financing and
mortgage funds. </FONT>
