House Sales Sink While Unemployment Stays Buoyant
But that hasn't stopped the crime lords in banking and finance from putting your family on foreclosure's fast track, now has it? What to do? DYI: Build your own shelter with locally-made, lego-like "green" bricks similar to those the Europeans used "after World War II to rebuild Europe and use all of the waste and rubble." It's all part of an "historic shift" and "reordering of priorities," says the green brick maker, who "hope(s) it's permanent and we're moving away from a highly materialistic age."

Portland, Oregon: Cheap-Ass Cars & Spendy Bikes
Phoenix, Arizona: Spendy cars & cheap-ass bikes. Can we trade?
Portland boasts lower car resale prices than most other U.S. towns. Unfortunately, the burden of over-priced used bicycles is greater only in Seattle. Will City Repair's "community lantern walks" become a favorite activity for Portlandians squeezed out of city's costly used bike culture? Or how 'bout serving up a "$20 plan" as a tasty side dish to the city's "20 minute plan"?
