Youth own fewer homes threatens a renter underclass
A Harvard study reports sharp drops in home ownership among 25 to 29 year olds and 30 to 34 year olds, with rates down from 43.3 to 36.2 percent and from 62.4 to 52.6 percent respectively. It warns many unsubsidized rentals under $300 monthly are inadequate, and single parent households are most at risk amid rising costs.

Supreme Court allows seizure of drug profits for lawyers fees
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that government may seize money and property intended to pay a defendant's lawyers when proceeds come from illegal activity. The decision, joining Virginia and New York cases, holds due process and right to counsel are not violated by confiscating illicit funds. Justice White noted drug profits resemble stolen bank funds and may be frozen before trial with probable cause. The ruling affects Continuing Criminal Enterprise and RICO laws, leaving states free to enact similar provisions. The decision also touched civil rights limits and a libel award, but focused on asset forfeiture tied to crime proceeds.
