Jennifer Wilson hit me with a book meme the other day.  My immediate reaction was that I don't read much any more, so what can I write about?  I do read, but it seems like it is websites that take my time instead of books.  I used to read a lot, and have some favorite authors.  One of my favorite...

This was the title of a post I did a couple of months ago on my outside  blog.  I was reminded recently, when I read a post by Esko Kiuru about the lack of affordable housing in Las Vegas, that not every resort area has good programs to help locals get affordable housing.  Summit County, Colorado...
