China's Empty Cities: These Satellite Images Will Shock You (AOL Real Estate)
Mar 6th 2013 3:35PM This story illustrates the dangers of a command economy.

Police Can Install Hidden Cameras on Private Property Without a Warrant, Judge Rules (AOL Real Estate)
Nov 3rd 2012 8:34AM When I began reading the article, I thought it was going to be a frightful example of invasion of privacy.
