Link to an article or this is just a casually veiled story about your lame politics |
Are you serious?? I've been running in those parks and others for nearly 30 years (I'm a woman) |
Yes, as you and a gazillion other bots/bot-influenced folks on the internet. Doesn't make it clever or true. Make an argument based on data. |
What is the reason for this kind of spike in Florida housing? Is it work from home trends sending more young people ? |
Taxes. People are voting with their feet. |
Grass isn't greener on other side. Suburbs are boring for young and old. |
No...hard to set new roots, want to be near kids/family here, and access to good medical care. $$ is not everyting! |
The last hurricane in Maine was in 1969. There are nor'easters from time to time but we don't live on the water (we are about a half-mile from the coast) and we have a generator. Weather of one kind or another is an issue everywhere. |
We are planning to move north to New England. We find the Washington area to be too warm too much of the time and predictions are that it will get worse. We have a few friends and family up there too, so we would not be starting from scratch.
Our first choice in western Mass is proving problematic as we just investigated the local hospital and it is lacking. |
I used to think we would - but we have a very low home mortgage rate - we would have to pay cash to make it financially feasible nowadays since any mortgage interest rate would be at least 4 or 5% more what we have now. |
DMV suburbs ARE my home town! I actually don't mind it but DH wants "somewhere warmer" but can't actually name a place. So for now plan is to stay in our SFH, travel and then wait to see what happens. Not a great plan but it is what it is. |
Was in Port Washington NY and school was in town by train to Manhattan, restaurants and water. Lawsuit was based on Port Washington in 1930s to mid 1970s was nearly all white. (Today has a big Spanish and Asian Population too). They sued as it was nearly all white people getting apartments but that was just long term owners 65 and older of course was mostly white. BTW Bethesda has same thing. Waverly House by metro is a 158 unit senior citizen below market building right by metro and Catholic Church and Round House theatre It is full of illegals, mainly Asian, most don’t speak English, very few even from Nearby area. Legally you can no longer restrict units to residents of town or make requirements long term residents. That would be a perfect place for Bethesda long term residents over 65 to downsize too. I would make it Bethesda residents only who own a home 25 years or greater only downsizing, but illegal. |
My "home town" is Bethesda and I already returned 30+ years ago. It has changed dramatically since I grew up, but mostly for the better IMO. That said, I would like to downsize in the next few years but not sure where in the area we would go that is less expensive. I'm not going to an exurb, but also don't want downtown living. Open to ideas.
We already own a house in New England where we will spend at least 6 months (summer/fall), so DMV will become a secondary home. Or we give up the DMV and make Boston our secondary home. |
I strongly doubt many Spaniards live there. Do you mean Spanish-speaking people from Latin America? |
Yep. It's the taxes. But then you're . . . in Florida. Crowded McMansions. Gross Beaches on the whole. Algae blooms. Collapsing high rises. Hurricanes. And a bunch of wrinkled Magdas living the "beach life." Pass. |
