Says the one who is "commenting a few times" about it. Again, I can ask you the same thing. You're a wee bit obsessed with getting someone to tell you that you're absolutely right, we should all call them three-deckers. Are you THIS bored because I am...

Yeah I’m enjoying the difference in cost of living compared to Boston and north shore. Been there for a few years now and it’s j crazy as to how they don’t have a cap on the rent. I’ve seen some crazy rental prices.

That area of the Jersey turnpike is awful. Stinks like hell too.

Never experienced any smelly emissions in worcester btw, businesses and vehicles are pretty well-regulated compared to other states in my experience

I think you can see pros and cons for the luxury renting market in regards to rising interest rates. Buying a house is unattractive at the moment, but also the number of people who can pay higher rents is shrinking. Bad time to become a landlord as you're competing against people who have locked in interest rates and can charge less if they have to.

They can’t deny anyone because they’re on section 8 but I think the applications are still subject to things like the credit/background check, eviction history and having enough for the move in deposit - basically every other criteria besides income because that would be taken care of by section 8.
