            <h1>Defending  Affordable Housing </h1>
            A wide range of political and financial leaders would like
            to get rid of America's affordable housing. The current
            economic crisis <font color="#ff0000">[thanks to US
              warring]</font> has given them an opportunity to move
            toward that goal.  How is this playing out in Cambridge,
            MA—the quintessential 'liberal' city?<br>
