My feelings exactly! I have been to 3 SSA Expos and found basically the same problems each time. I never felt comfortable being a owner of a small storage facility. I feell like SSA is a show for the big time investors. I have been to several ISS shows, sometimes 2 a year, and have enjoyed every one of them.
I even enjoyed the one which was held at Ceasars Palace. The atmosphere of ISS at Ceasars made a big difference compared to your SSA experience.
