Housing is one of many issues Vance, the Republican nominee, believes are rooted in the arrival of undocumented migrants in America. But many economists caution that connecting rising numbers of immigrants to housing costs is no simple thing. Other economists have noted links between immigrants and increased housing costs. Vance later shared two studies on housing and immigration that showed a link between increased immigration and rising housing costs — though each offered various caveats, including noting that the impact changes over time. Indeed, Zillow data shows a clear upward trend in Springfield rents this year compared with 2023.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — No more “Midwest nice.”Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, back on the campaign trail after his matchup with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, eschewed the debate-stage niceties that marked their relatively cordial meeting and went back on the offensive Wednesday. “Now, we, of course, had a debate last night — a vice presidential debate. “He said that Tim Walz said that he was friends with school shooters twice, and that’s something I actually didn’t notice, that Tim Walz had said that on the debate stage,” Vance said, recounting the conversation. “In some ways, I’ve got the easiest job in American politics,” Vance said, likening the role of a vice presidential running mate to salesman for the campaign.

As for home run items, don't expect to find them daily but, 'they are out there.' AdvertisementBuying and reselling items can be an effective way to bring in extra cash — and can even be your ticket to financial independence. Richard S., who prefers not to share his last name for privacy reasons, started reselling items from his closet on eBay after losing his job in 2008. I didn't sell the Nike SB until maybe six months ago because I didn't understand what a Nike SB really was. In the reselling business, "it doesn't matter what I think is cool," said Richard.

Billions in trade came to a screeching halt at U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast ports after members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) began walking off the job after 12:01 a.m. In a video posted to an ILA Instagram account, Daggett addressed union workers at Maher Terminals in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

A rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month has fueled hopes that the interest rate-sensitive housing market will soon experience a fresh jolt. “What this data tells us is that the housing market in 2024 has been really frozen,” said Chen Zhao, Redfin’s economic research lead. Zhao said a market where 30 to 40 of every 1,000 homes changed hands would signify a healthier housing landscape. “That very low inventory on the market was one of the primary drivers of there being so little turnover.”A shortage of new home construction also contributed to America’s sluggish housing market. “Getting to a healthy housing market is very hard from this point,” Zhao said.

That's the lowest turnover rate the market has seen in at least three decades, the firm estimated. Elevated mortgage rates and home prices have been keeping some buyers on the sidelines.

In that era, home sales were at similar levels, though the total supply of homes was larger, which drove a higher turnover rate, the report added. Homes sales, meanwhile, could notch 4.3 million by the end of the year, a 5% boost from last year's levels, it added.

Such scrutiny is the product of diet culture, the influences and messages that affect how we eat, based on cultural pressure to attain an ideal body type, experts say. And with increasing changes in access to food, exercise and health care, people’s weight is becoming more out of their individual control, she added. A 2019 meta-analysis showed that more than 80% of weight loss is regained after five years. One idea is that diet culture keeps a check on power. Comments and criticisms you make about other people’s bodies also influence the way you feel about your own body, Conason said.
