Boarding houses need to make a comeback.
- ruined 4y agoThey have, informally. There is a huge demographic of people in every major city who have never/rarely signed a lease, but simply sublet a room from an official lease-holder, often against the actual terms of the lease. These people generally tend to file taxes as individual households, despite all sharing what is statistically a single unit of housing. I wonder how this plays with the data in the article.
- skrbjc 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. So many young people share houses in places like the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem to be included in these numbers.
- pkdpic 4y agoThats a really interesting thought. I would guess there're are a lot of untapped ideas from the early 20th / 19th century that deserve reevaluation / resurrection. Like drinking more. I'm experimenting with that one. I'll let everyone know how it turns out on substack when I'm done.
