	Overview
	The news has not been good: fearful consumers and frozen credit markets; jobs disappearing and stores closing; new cars waiting for buyers and State governments begging for cash. But after three long cold years in the housing sector, there is a little green shoot or two coming up. Can Spring be far away? Might the bank bailout, loose monetary policy and fiscal stimulus take hold? Is there a reason to feel optimistic again? The San Diego Economic Outlook in May will discuss these issues along with a focused view of the San Diego regional economy.
