[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes this is common -- we live on the Hill and know several families who can only afford to live here because they are living in a parent or grandparent's home that was purchased for like 20 decades ago. It doesn't upset me -- it means there are more people here with our similiar finances and it also means they don't look down on us for living in a condo instead of a row home because neither of us can actually afford the row home. If it seemed like they were beng smug about it I guess it would bother me but at least in our case people are not and recognize that if they didn't have this good fortune they could not afford to live here.[/quote] This here. We've made many mixed housing type communities illegal to zoning. I'd love to make our home into a duplex for grandparents and us. But we can't. So we do this instead.[/quote]
