"Prior to the abolition of slavery in 1865, Cincinnati was a pivotal city in assuring freedom for slaves escaping the tyranny of plantation life in the south.

With tax rates skyrocketing and little being done to counterbalance the rising cost of living, who's going to step up to the plate to fight for affordability?

I am.

Age of affordability might be at an end If Cincinnati doesn't reverse course, thousands of homeowners will be forced to the outlying suburbs to escape the rising cost of living in the city.
