| Time to Buy | KCET - Los Angeles, CA | Housing | Home sales are up ... prices are down ... mortgage rates rock-bottom. By most historical measures, this looks like the ideal time to take the plunge and buy a house in southern California. In "Time to Buy?" we go behind the latest housing facts and figures to try and find out what's really going on in the housing market. It turns out that the situation is even more volatile and complex than the shifting columns of sales prices and percentage changes would indicate. | http://kcet.org/socal/2009/05/time-to-buy.html |

| Thrift Economy | KCET - Los Angeles, CA | Saving | These days, most everyone is looking for ways to save money. But many people are also looking to make money. When the economy shrinks, what's known as the informal economy swells. Legions of scrappy entrepreneurs make their way in an industry that operates beyond the four walls of conventional commerce. It's a little known world where people buy and resell used goods. And when times get tough, their business starts booming. | http://kcet.org/socal/2008/12/thrift-economy.html |

| The Trashout Squad |
KCET - Los Angeles, CA |
Home Foreclosures |
Something few people ever see - the dirty work of contractors hired by banks and mortgage companies to empty out foreclosed homes of whatever the former owners leave behind so the property can be readied for re-sale. Sadly, it's one of the few growth businesses in these tough economic times. | http://kcet.org/socal/2009/02/the-trashout-squad-1.html |

| Is Anybody Listening |
KCET Los Angeles, CA |

It's the first person accounts of students struggling with foreclosures, hunger and the threat of becoming homeless. | http://kcet.org/socal/2009/03/is-anybody-listening.html |

| Running Out of Luck |
KCET, Los Angeles, CA |
Vegas |
Foreclosures, stalled funding, decreased revenue... things are bad enough in SoCal, but we've been hearing that things are even worse in Sin City - and they were supposed to be recession-proof. Las Vegas placed all its bets on bigger and brighter and brassier. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but are the odds against Las Vegas too high? We wondered how Las Vegas, often referred to as a "suburb of Los Angeles," was faring in this economically challenging climate. We sent correspondent and Vegas-phile John Ridley to find out. | http://kcet.org/socal/2009/04/running-out-of-luck.html |
