It wouldn't stay frozen or have much ability to freeze anything for long - the ocean is big [citation needed] and cryogenic liquids really don't have a lot of heat capacity compared to water.

Freezing stuff also usually doesn't damage much, unless there's water to expand inside it.

There’s also the House of the Seven Gables, which is worth visiting if you’re interested in that era of architecture or the link to Hawthorne. Their web site says they reopen Feb. 10, so that should work for you.

The private sector has no reason to build low income housing. If you factor in the cost of land, labor, and materials then there would be little ability to charge below market rates. Low income housing can really only be built by the state or city unless there is some magical developer who is willing to lower their profits.

The addition of newer units to the market should eventually lower the price of older ones. It may not be a perfect solution but it will still help.

Finally, to address how do we stop the “never-ending stream of wealthy people” moving here- we don’t. These people will continue to come here regardless of how much housing there is but if there aren’t enough newer/higher end units then they will opt for the older ones like they do now.

They’re 2/5, I’m focusing on the majority here.

Why do you think 3 of the top 5 are in states where guns are readily available?

Rounding out the top 10 are 2 cities in Ohio, another in Missouri, and one In Tennessee. 7/10 cities with the highest murder rate are in states with easy access to guns.

Why do you think that is?

> Why don’t you cherry pick a little more with your question

Ironic from someone who, wrongly here, cherry picked Chicago as an example.
