Reply to ‘A housing market for almost no one’: Rising prices and interest rates have made home buying feel impossible - The Boston Globe by uxd
I’m confused who these boomers think they’re going to sell to?
Look at the demographics, there is no bigger generation. There will never be another grey wave. Those many who own assets are currently asset rich. Soon they will be selling those assets for cash to the few. All in order to get healthcare and retirement care. They will be selling to those who are deep in debt and who want them dead.
I’m hoping for a huge bust. But frankly speaking I’ve given up. Best case scenario is to bet on options and plan an arbitrage situation where I join a wave of Americans gentrifying another country like Mexico or Portugal.

The MBTA is still chasing these terrorists who took it upon themselves to remove the extra arm-rests from the benches in Central two years ago.. I'm surprised they haven't put a price on their heads yet..

A little thing called motonormativity. It's an incredibly powerful reality distortion effect.

The tables are all the vendors. They are there on the common only on the weekend during October. I buy my candles from there. A lot of people rent tables during that month to sell their stuff.

Interesting im honestly surprised at level of integration. Yes Metro North and LIRR are MTA as well but I know those agencies can be very territorial and not always play nice

There was an apartment in Kenmore Square I looked at about a decade ago that also had that stipulation. Red flag if you ask me

We keep it 72F 24/7, 2500sf and last month was $525. 1940s home with some insulation upgrades. These apartments are criminal with crappy insulation and electric heat.

Never met a landlord who actually cared. I haven’t rented in a while, so maybe they’ve gotten stricter about these things, but I remember being in college hearing that our application was denied because the property was not available to students. Super bogus, like at least we’re not going to color all over the walls with crayons and tear up the yard.

It is great if someone already owns a house (or multiple)

+1 for Portland! So incredibly easy — you just go to north station, park yourself on the air conditioned Amtrak, and next thing you know you’re in Portland. Getting from the Portland amtrak to downtown/Commercial St is a bit of a pain (I walked there and back, and my legs dearly paid for it), but by and large it’s a simple trip and there’s lots of fun stuff/vibes in the summer.

It’s delayed because it costs a billion $$$ and would be a net negative. How many years of fare evasion would that be?

Don't get too excited more than a couple of days out. Models had this one potentially much stronger initially.

Let that rage burn with the heat of a million suns. Then go take that heat and cook up some fresh asphalt and start filling in some potholes, since you’ve got nothing better to do sitting in traffic.
