Inequality hits home! Is housing affordability key to livability?

CARPE DIEM:  Two big events today!​

Inequality hits home!  Let’s use the release of AARP’s Livability Index today and Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph Stiglitz’s talk tonight in Harvard Square to discuss how America became the most unequal advanced country in the world and what we can do about it.

DEMO:  AARP LIVABILITY INDEX​

Let’s use the Livability Indexes for two very different communities Chelsea & Cambridge to talk about what makes a place livable… How would you customize the sliders on AARP’s new site (http://bit.ly/Livability) to find someplace you can afford and like to call home?
