When it comes to problems with free speech about Islam, Denmark is something of a hotspot.

Once Southern California's hottest real estate market, San Diego is viewed as a bellwether or sorts, signaling trends soon apparent in other areas. Home prices in San Diego more than doubled over the past five years, soaring nearly 30% in one 12-month period. But lately prices have been rising much more slowly - only 6.3% on a year-over-year basis as of June...
