I was just telling a couple of people that major cities like Baltimore, Buffalo, and St. Louis are selling properties to owner-occupants for pennies on the dollar.

This [excerpt] got me to reconsider participation in electoral politics. What "political values" can I help mobilize at the local level? It dawned on me that one of them is the reason I withdrew from electoral politics in '08: a Two-Party System and its bipartisan presidential nominees.
