At least the Midwest anarchists are well into their organizing plans for the 2008 conventions. ;-)

The housing market in Kansas City took a nosedive in 2006. The graph printed in the paper showing new home sales looks like a mountain with a steep cliff on the 2006 side.
You can get a small office for $500-$1000/month in the burbs of Kansas City. The bottom fell out of our office market too.
