The U.S. housing market has flipped — and the winners may surprise you. While Miami sellers outnumber buyers by 148% and Austin sits at 112%, Ohio is quietly dominating. Cleveland's median home price? Just $150K — less than one-third of Miami's $625K. Gen Z and remote workers are ditching Sunbelt metros for Midwest cities where homes run $200K–$275K. A $20B Intel plant and the Cleveland Clinic are fueling Ohio's rise, and Redfin confirms sellers now outnumber buyers nationally by 43%. The Sunbelt boom is over. The Rust Belt revival is real. https://fortune.com/2026/04/21/housing-market-winners-vs-losers-florida-texas-ohio/

Rust-belt America; yes, everything leaks, but the network is up!
Meanwhile the PTBs want to invest in AI.

In 1930, #Springfield #Illinois was home to the biggest flour factory in North America, but as part of the rusting of the #RustBelt, that industry left, leaving us to clean up the mess. After decades of community effort, the Pillsbury plant is finally coming down, and a new dawn is rising over the city's north side, with opportunity for community revitalization to follow.

Johnstown doesn’t have “a style.”
It has layers.
Floods. Steel. Booms. Busts. Rebuilding.

This stone porch house is what survives all of that.

Architecture as memory.

Today in Labor History January 20, 1986: Bruce Springsteen's "My Hometown" topped the music charts on this date. The song, a eulogy for dying industrial cities, includes the lines: "Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores / Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more / They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks / Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown . . ."
