This is from an inspectors point of view, as I closed shop as an EC in '07.
Twp I work in is at 3300 +/- permits for the year. Resi new is very quiet, but not dead. Resi renovations and additions is 'steady'. Resi solar is quieted down, comm solar is busy. Comm fit-ups seems to be reviving, with a few big tenants moving into vacant space.
Hopefully, it stays steady.
