I liked the opening to the article about not enough housing in North Dakota. They started out with a personal narrative piece and then moved into the meat of the article and the bigger picture. I liked how it was set up. There was a lot of economy related stories on the front page (Renting vs Buying, Teacher cuts, No housing, Bank size etc) which is a little overwhelming, just because it was a lot of frightening information to take in about our economy. I know it's bad, but covering the front page with stories about how it's getting worse, and certain problems doesn't ease my fear at all, it escalates it. Cute angle on the airports opening story with the woman coming back for her birthday- it added a little bit of happiness to this issue.
