Squatters See a New Frontier in the Empty Homes of Las Vegas

Foreclosed homes still pockmark Las Vegas, lingering signs of the housing crisis. But they do not always stay empty: Squatters move in, bringing crime with them.

Squatting has no charms.
The banks are stubborn. They want their money.
Rotting corpses draw scavengers.

When a New York neighborhood becomes gentrified, young people who grew up there may be displaced.

Yes.

Confined to Nursing Homes, but Longing (and Ready) for Home

Some states are falling short in increasing the share of Medicaid dollars spent on providing support that would allow disabled people to live at home.

Every job helps.
Out is better.

How to Bridge Chicago’s Divide: Mayor Obama?

Readers discuss how Chicago is no longer “the city that works.” A former resident (now president) or his wife could change that, one reader says.

Rahm Emanuel is probably not responsible for Chicago's problems.
They could ask President Obama.

Disproving Beliefs About the Economy and Aging

Research shows that older adults work beyond retirement age, are productive and are not blocking younger workers from the job market.

Proof does not change minds.

Tricky Timing for the Class of 2016

Employment prospects for today’s graduates are far from ideal.

"More public spending could have raised demand at a time of diminished private-sector spending. But Republicans in Congress have rejected that approach and have embraced budget cuts that have hampered broader recovery and growth, at times with the support or acquiescence of Democrats and administration officials."

Not much hope.

Sexual Freelancing in the Gig Economy

Forget dinner and a movie. We’re treating dating like an unpaid internship.

"As anyone who has ever been in love can attest, the laws of supply and demand do not control our feelings."

E.P.A. Methane Leak Rules Take Aim at Global Warming

The regulations require oil and gas companies to plug and capture leaks of methane from new and modified drilling wells and storage tanks.

Dean Skelos Is Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison in Corruption Case

The sentencing of Mr. Skelos, the second in 10 days of a former senior New York lawmaker, closes an extraordinary chapter during which two trials exposed the seamy side of Albany politics.

The prosecutors should keep digging.
Albany is far from clean.
