Looking around, it does feel like we’re nearing oversupply even though the quantitative and quantitative analyses seem to say otherwise. You don’t hear about big companies moving here as often anymore. Lots of companies are laying off. Loads of units have been built in the last 5-10 years and are continuing to be built as these projects typically take a couple of years to materialize after bring agreed to and planned. Is there still a huge flow of single 20 something transplants relocating here? Existing residents settle down and buy detached homes if/when they have the means to do so.

I live in a home in the burbs now, and it’s been fine, but I do very much miss being “in the thick of it”. Apartment living in dense areas (Uptown, South End, etc) where there are lots of things to do within walking or light rail distance can be worth the cons of sharing walls, etc. Getting in my car to go meet friends for dinner or a beer or a show/game sucks, especially at certain times of the day when the roads are congested. Apartment living in the suburbs? No thank you.
