[UPDATE] 27 July Sentinel Article - Youth Protest March

Can't find this mentioned yet, so...

Youth March Protests City Housing Policies
By WILHELMINA BEST
A group comprising students and entry-level workers marched on City Hall this week in protest of council policies that, they say, encourage housing prices to spiral out of control and are forcing young people to move out of the city. The group, Youth for Fair Housing, said that around 350 individuals participated in the march, but that nearly 20,000 had signed the petition they delivered to the Office of the Council.

"I love this city and I can't imagine living anywhere else," said YFH spokesman Colin Applebalm, "[But] I know that as soon as I finish out my games year at the Academy and become ineligible for student housing, I'm going to have to move out to one of the suburbs. ... There is simply no place in the heart of the city where you can afford to live when you're just starting out."

Council member Nathan Earlywine met with the group during the march and gave a short speech indicating that he is sympathetic to the problem. He reminded the rally that the Northside development plan had been intended to alleviate these specific issues, before it was derailed by a group of anonymous environmentalists, who purchased the land with the intent of leaving it wild.

"The council is working hard to protect your interests," Earlywine told the gathered protestors. "We are examining different strategies, including incentives for housing owners and tax credits for early-life renters, to make it possible for more of our youth to stay in our city." He promised to push Council Leader Camryn Scott to hold an open-air discussion of the issue to consider any creative methods that the public might have to offer.

Police reported that the crowd was impassioned but peaceable, and no arrests were necessary.

Sounds familiar, at least to this uk resident Smile

There is also I think

Rudolph Shines
Actress Hortense Rudolph absolutely dazzles in her performance in the new film Justice. This compelling character study of the criminal mastermind behind the 170BC judiciary pogroms is chillingly convincing, and makes even the infamous Faith Giordana into an empathetic figure.
