The U.S. housing market has flipped — and the winners may surprise you. While Miami sellers outnumber buyers by 148% and Austin sits at 112%, Ohio is quietly dominating. Cleveland's median home price? Just $150K — less than one-third of Miami's $625K. Gen Z and remote workers are ditching Sunbelt metros for Midwest cities where homes run $200K–$275K. A $20B Intel plant and the Cleveland Clinic are fueling Ohio's rise, and Redfin confirms sellers now outnumber buyers nationally by 43%. The Sunbelt boom is over. The Rust Belt revival is real. https://fortune.com/2026/04/21/housing-market-winners-vs-losers-florida-texas-ohio/

In 1930, #Springfield #Illinois was home to the biggest flour factory in North America, but as part of the rusting of the #RustBelt, that industry left, leaving us to clean up the mess. After decades of community effort, the Pillsbury plant is finally coming down, and a new dawn is rising over the city's north side, with opportunity for community revitalization to follow.

Why can't #Democrats make the case that #RustBelt "forgotten" counties in red states have added #jobs 5x faster during the #Biden administration than they did during Trump's term. Would those regions experiencing a largely ignored #EconomicRecovery even consider #voting for ol' Joe? Don't count on it...

Love to see good news about the Rust Belt! Specifically Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan:
"The Midwest is emerging as a major manufacturing hub for the clean energy transition as federal incentives and falling prices for renewables spur companies to invest tens of billions of dollars into new factory operations across the country."
Biden's 2022 climate action bill continues to bear fruit!

Michigan named top state to live and work in the U.S.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has pushed for progressive policies to attract young people, declaring ‘Bigotry is bad for business’
The Great Lakes State has long held space in the national imagination as perhaps the ultimate symbol of Rust Belt industrial decline. Though Michigan’s reputation is changing, it’s still often written off and overlooked.
Maybe it’s high time that changes.
According to a new study of the top 10 states to live and work in the U.S., Michigan is the best.
The analysis by Softworks, a workforce management company, considered a range of factors for the study, including wages, cost of living, housing affordability, and overall happiness.
We believe that Michigan’s position as the top state is a testament to its ongoing efforts in fostering economic growth and providing an environment conducive to personal and professional fulfillment,” the authors wrote, adding, “As the hub of the automotive industry, Michigan has a strong economy and a low cost of living, making it an attractive option for those looking to settle down in the Midwest. Its cities, such as Detroit and Grand Rapids, are undergoing revitalization efforts and have a growing entrepreneurial spirit.”
Like other Midwest states, Michigan has experienced a “blue wave” in recent years that sees Democrats in control of the state government for the first time in nearly 40 years. While its population has declined in recent years, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is trying to curb the brain drain of young people leaving the state by pushing progressive policies such as reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights. In her 2023 State of the State speech, Whitmer declared, “Bigotry is bad for business.”

How Regulation Came to Be: Donora Zinc Mill (#12 in series)
