In a recent post, I asked a question about how the recent housing meltdown has possibly changed the American Dream. This article support something that I’ve long considered, that housing can be more than just a financial burden; that it can prohibitively anchor someone to a community with limited opportunities and be an albatross around the neck.
Example, much of the Midwest is filled with communities that thrived as long as the local factory was in town. Unfortunately, most of them have been shut, taking their tax breaks and headed over seas for cheap labor. Millions of people were stranded in houses they couldn’t afford and communities with little to no financial opportunity... and this was long before the housing crash!
