Housing Limited Today on my way back from eating a delicious buffet style meal, I stopped to check the little box that is my source for outside information; it opens into an area that stores a rainbow of flyers from every organization imaginable.

Few opportunities are given to them, starting with housing then leading to schools which would then affect their individual education.

With the cities under a monopoly headed by the wealth of each neighborhood, one is left to wonder how such a system is fair to all groups.
