I can't for the life of me figure out why unless we can blame it on the economy. I look forward to your reply.

No! It has been steadily higher, and is now just under 95%. I really feel that, quite frankly, bad news should be good news for our industry. Foreclosures, layoffs, bad weather, as well as domestic issues, drive folks to storage.
I take it to heart that you are in AZ, a, "Snowbird" state, and the "Snowbirds" have migrated north now. Does occupancy typicall go down in the spring-summer?
