The average Boston renter spends 47% of their income on housing. In Seattle, it's 28%. Why? (www.wgbh.org)

I was born in 86'.

So anyway....in 84' Massachusetts abolished rent control and affordable housing essentially. Saved you a read. Our zoning laws are stupid and Zillow owns everything.

It's okay tho, we're not supposed to retire till 67.
