Empty homes blight neighborhoods as census shows rise
The 1990 census found 10.3 million vacant housing units in the United States, up 2 million since 1980. Vacancies span oil towns, Sun Belt cities, resort areas, and industrial centers, reflecting aging boomers and shifting markets. Oklahoma City shows 27 percent of homes empty in the 1970s surge and a continued high vacancy by 1990 as prices collapsed.

The Fish and Wildlife Service proposed logging restrictions on 11.6 million acres in Oregon Washington and northern California to protect the threatened northern spotted owl. The plan drew praise from environmentalists and criticism from timber interests and a senator who warned it could cost tens of thousands of jobs while noting only selective logging would be allowed with permission.
