What do you see in your local housing market? Falling prices? "Portland-area real estate: 10 places where home prices are falling."

Or overbuilding? "Walking down Brand Avenue in downtown Glendale, one can’t help but notice the sudden glut of luxury apartments all cheerfully advertising vacancies. Over the last three years, dozens of these developments have been greenlit and built adding thousands of units to the city."

In you local law enforcement? "To conceal earnings made by allegedly exploiting undocumented workers, suspects in a large-scale racket busted by federal agents this week purchased at least four houses in the Las Vegas Valley, according to a federal complaint unsealed Thursday."

"The documents spotlight an elaborate conspiracy allegedly perpetrated by a syndicate that mostly operated in Nebraska and Minnesota, which was described by a federal official as 'one of the largest' for the investigative arm of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

"Federal prosecutors in Nebraska allege various workers were exploited through force, coercion and the threat of deportation, according to ICE. The alleged crimes took place between 2015 to July this year. Three suspects, immigrants themselves — one who’d been previously deported — would cash some of the illicitly earned checks. One of them, Anayancy Castro Hernandez, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient, allegedly did this through employment with a bank."

"Authorities identified more than $8 million in transactions made by the suspects from the financial institution that employed Hernandez. At least one of the suspects, Sanchez Delgado, would withhold money from the workers’ paychecks, telling them that he would pay their federal taxes. Instead, that money was pocketed."
