Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc will transfer control of the @POTUS account to the Joe Biden administration on Jan. 20, the social media companies said on Saturday.

The @POTUS account on both platforms is the official account of the President of the United States. It is separate from the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account and the @Donal

dTrump Facebook page that U.S. President Donald Trump mostly uses to write his posts.

"Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021. As we did for the presidential transition in 2017, this process is being done in close consultation with the National Archives and Records," the company confirmed to Reuters on Saturday.

Housing Prices Increase Amid Economic Devastation Leaving Less Affordable Homes
October 9, 2020 | AFFORDABLE HOUSING
By Cynthia Griffith

In stark contrast to the 2008 recession, the plummeting economy caused in part by the novel Coronavirus hasn’t put a dent in the housing market. In fact, particularly in wealthy neighborhoods, housing prices are actually going up, even as employment numbers continue spiraling down.

The reason?

Market experts agree that it is lack of supply. In other words, the fact that we aren’t building enough affordable houses (or enough houses at all for that matter) is keeping the housing industry afloat but certainly at the expense of those who are newly unemployed. Here we have not only a widening wealth gap but an impending housing gap as houses in low-income neighborhoods depreciate and houses in wealthy and upper middle-class neighborhoods grow more expensive.

To quote Megan McArdle, a columnist at the Washington Post, “the housing market tells the story of two Americas. One has the educated and professional classes, most of whom work from home…The other America has the people whose job requires their physical presence.”
