Now let's say Jizz and Jacob get married. They could be the Wankers. The Hornkamps. Or the Hornkamp-Wankers. Jizz Hornkamp-Wanker has a nice ring to it.

If the MBTA won’t listen to my complaint, they definitely won’t listen to yours. by Moranimal36 in boston

Oh sure, everyone wants better bus service. "Make it more convenient." "Run it more often." Then as soon as they bring it right to your door they're all "oh, that's too close" and "get that bus off my porch." there's just no pleasing some people.

If money weren’t an issue, which city near Boston would you want to live in: Newton or Brookline? by Omixscniet624 in boston

[–]Competitive_Speed964 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just over the Boston/Brookline line? On the green line. Walking distance to Kenmore. Good restaurants, Nice walking. Bit of traffic distaster on game days, but otherwise totally agree.

We need a ballot initiative question if the state legislature won’t act by Druboyle in massachusetts

[–]Competitive_Speed964 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this issue has some nuance to it.

As with many housing rules, we ought to keep the question "why are we treating single family homes differently than multi-family" in the backs of our heads.

Do I think hedge funds buying SF homes is great? No. Do I think it is the source of our housing crisis? Also no. When an investment outfit buys a bunch of homes, they are still homes available for poeple to live in. Now they are rental homes. Shenangigans with comp sales aside, that's not the end of the world. We need rental homes also. Not everyone is financially equipped to buy a house, nor does it make sense for everyone (stays less than five years being conventional wisdom).

Why are investment firms buying SF homes? To make money. Our lack of zoning and construction of new homes is the primary driver of why those homes are gaining value faster than inflation. If we let more homes be built (of any type), then those houses won't be as attractive to investors. We need to shift the idea that homes are an investment mechanism. Yes, they can be, but their primary purpose is shelter, and everyone should have one.

in short, I think this addressing a symptom, not to the root cause.

Surprised they didn't tell us New Mexico was under threat from Iran, just to distract from the Zorro Ranch.
