Car traffic is becoming so hideous that the suburbs are no longer viable.

Yup. No need for your own transportation. Part of the plan to move folks out of the countryside and in to the cities. I’m sure there are plenty of urban dwellers that absolutely LOVE this idea. No need to go out in to the rural areas for anything. Yucky toofless hillbillies live out there.

I always wanted to live in a high-rise. Not those ugly HUD units you see in Detroit and in the Bronx but something more like this.

with monthly rents ranging from $1,450 for a studio to $9,000 for a penthouse—charging prices rarely seen in the Twin Cities

Until some liberal federal judge decides t o poor are being discriminated against and orders 20% of the apartments be rented to low income housing recipients. Then you'll have a nice ghetto in the middle of your city.

See how many people want to pay 1500 a month to live next door to Teniqua and Rasheedy and their thumping rap music.

This new urbanism is an attack on the conservatives who prefer the comfort and safety of the suburbs.

These condo towers serve the function of drastically increasing urban property values, drawing the wealthy from the suburbs and thus hurting suburban property values which thereby force those who once lived in the urban blight to the suburbs.

That in turn increases crime in the suburbs and impacts those who worked hard to buy a piece of the American Dream out in the conservative suburbs.

Boston is pushing toward ultra-small apartments so that young professionals can afford to live in the city. The new apartments are about 450 square feet (total) and cost about $2000 a month.

It’s all about affordability.

And Agenda 21.

That’s not news, this has been going on for quite some time in Seattle.

In real estate economics, the first sign of a RE recovery is an increase in rents, then followed by an increase in the building/new construction of rental units.

And we have a long way to go.

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

A lot of condo buildings are going up in downtown Boston. Most of downtown used to close after 7pm. Now parts of the city that have been ghost-towns are becoming neighborhoods.

High-rise condo living is not for me. I live in an inner-suburb close to Boston that has a mix of city & suburban amenities. I have a small ranch house that fits my needs until I retire then I’m off to a semi-rural area to await the coming troubles....
