Call it the Brooklyn breaking point, when the cool factor of Kings County is not enough to compensate for a less-than-ideal living situation. For Joseph I. Dube and his wife, Frances Cabrera, it came last year. After realizing they could not afford to buy a place in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, where they had been renting, the couple began looking in Sunset Park. But though that neighborhood was more affordable, it required a longer trip by subway to Midtown Manhattan, where Mr. Dube and Ms. Cabrera both work. And they were discouraged when the offers they made on apartments there were unsuccessful. They had better luck in Jackson Heights, in north-central Queens, a historic and heterogeneous area less than a half-hour from Midtown — and, pricewise, a world away from trendier enclaves. “The co-op buildings here, they have a certain look and feel, like the buildings we loved by Prospect Park,” Mr. Dube said.

Biologists and conservationists want to retain samples of P-22’s tissue, fur and whiskers for scientific testing to aid in future wildlife research. But … [Read more...] about Tribes, researchers debate final fate of P-22, famed LA puma

The news of a Chinese spy balloon floating through American airspace has bolstered Republican calls to focus on national security — including from Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), who is proposing a foreign land purchase moratorium to protect U.S. food security and stabilize housing prices. Congresswoman Miller is set to reintroduce a bill on Monday entitled the ‘‘Saving American Farms from Adversaries Act.” The legislation would give the president power to prohibit the purchase of public or private real estate in the United States “by any foreign person,” including corporations and partnerships, for the five-year period after the enactment of the law. Breitbart News learned exclusively of the bill’s introduction on Friday, and was first to report the bill last year when Miller introduced it with now-retired Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX). “Our adversaries continue to rob our country of wealth and prosperity under Joe Biden’s weak leadership. Congress must respond to the critical … [Read more...] about Chinese Spy Balloon Renews GOP Push for Foreign Land Purchase Ban
