I wonder how many home sales roadtrip has been responsible for over the years.
Considering how many people attend each year and its been happening 7,8 yrs?

Oh please, AP was never about real estate marketing in the first place. That
concept is the biggest failure of this city ever. It's about a beach, a
boardwalk, a music scene, and once upon a time, entertainment on a scale we
know nothing about anymore. The real estate push is about a bunch of greedy
people who care more about making money off of people then creating something
unique and culturally rewarding.
