POPSHousing Covenants that endorse segregation I've seen these covenants turn up in title reports - they are shocking to read. "The covenants were not enacted by the government but were private contracts between homeowners. Owners who sold their house to a black family, for example, could be sued for damages by other homeowners in the neighborhood. Black home buyers could also be sued. In 1948, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Shelley vs. Kraemer that covenants were unenforceable."

POPSIKEA Village: A Community of Affordable Pre-Fab Homes Ikea is currently building a village of pre-fab homes in the UK: Creating a community of affordable homes. These homes will be like nothing else seen before in the UK and will play an important role in helping first-time buyers who have until now been unable to get on the property ladder due to the spiralling costs of buying a house. While Ikea will market the houses, Live Smart @ Home will build them. It will ask buyers to prove they are within the set income bracket and to register their interest online. Demand is expected to be so high that a lottery will then determine who becomes the first "Ikea villagers".

POPSA Haven For Retiring Gay Couples
It's about time that life-partner's have retirement facilities available that allow us to spend out senior years together, in a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere. I know a good number of older gay and lesbian couples who are essentially forced to live in retirement communities in which they have to hide their relationship for fear of being ostracized by less open-minded neighbours. Many actually rent or purchase separate homes or apartments in order to maintain a "straight" appearance. I know that Arnold and I are beginning to think about retirement, and after spending 25 years together, we would never consider being split up, nor should be put in a position to have to give thought to such a circumstance. I am not saying that ALL retirement communities are anti-gay or homophobic, and one of these days, no one will give a crap who is gay, straight or anywhere in between. But it is nice to know there are areas for retiring gay and lesbian couples if this is what they choose.
