About this series

Cape Island Point Research is an independent publication based in Charleston, South Carolina. This series applies the same method as our housing research: primary data, every figure checked against its source on a stated date, and plain language about what we could not verify. The author personally holds HBAR. We accept no sponsorship from the projects covered, manage no money for anyone else, and label our judgments as judgments.
