The permit data clearly reflects the downturn <br />in the housing market. <br />The year 2007 brought another type of change in Lino Lakes in that the first apartment <br />building was constructed. The lag time between building permit issuance and occupancy <br />of single family houses and townhomes typically has been short. Counting new units as <br />households was an easy way to estimate growth. Now that the apartments have been <br />built, our tracking of units and households will be a little different. Clearly, I'll need to <br />reformat my data spreadsheets! <br />
