A house is often a family’s most valuable asset, but following tragedies like Columbine, it can become one more aspect of life that people can’t control.

As we have seen increasingly over the last two decades, otherwise quiet towns with names like Newtown, Connecticut, Parkland, Florida, and Littleton, Colorado, can just as quickly become struck by violence. All three are now etched into our collective memory for tragic school shootings, among many others. In fact, tomorrow marks 20 years from the day when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 fellow students, a teacher and themselves, while also injuring 20, at Columbine High School.

No degree of foresight can prepare families or communities for such devastation. The attacks continue to echo for those who remember the sirens, the frantic phone calls, the terrifying waits. While processing this trauma, it’s reasonable that some families might wish to move away and start fresh in new towns. But a surprising factor can stand in their way, and it’s one that impacts the entire community. House prices in school districts affected by mass shootings fell eight percent over a period of five years after the incident — and housing transactions dropped overall.

A young generation of Iraqis is breaking with the legacy of war to re-create Baghdad as a hub of music and nightlife.

There’s another side to Baghdad emerging from the shadows of violence. Fifteen years after the U.S. invasion plunged the country into a cycle of insurgency and war, rock, metal and electronic music in the capital’s nightclubs and parties are competing with the sounds of guns and bombs, drawing local and foreign musicians. For young Iraqis, these music-filled parties are an opportunity to relish simple pleasures that have grown rare in recent years: drinking, dancing and singing.

The full Mueller Report finds no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but new nuggets about obstruction of justice.

On Thursday, the Department of Justice released a 448-page, lightly redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report investigating Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. As previewed by Attorney General William Barr three and a half weeks ago, Mueller found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin but did not reach a firm legal conclusion on whether the president obstructed justice.

The report reveals that Trump tried repeatedly through a variety of means to curtail the investigation — but that his subordinates ignored or resisted his wishes.
