Some of those older buildings are ugly, though. We should expect more, and I don't think critiquing ugly condos is the equivalent to saying we shouldn't build more housing stock. We absolutely should. I certainly wouldn't pay over a half a million to live in an ugly condo building from 2015, but clearly some people will.

I don't take the tax penalty, but I'm paying nearly a thousand dollars a month on health insurance for my family because I make just a tad too much to get any help through the Health Connector. Outside of my mortgage, it's my biggest expense.

However, I was talking to my father in law who is going to retire in his fifties because he's a fireman, and he's looking at a thousand a month just for him. He's in Ohio. So, I guess it could be shittier, but I know that's not much consolation.

Every time I see a news story about The Dark Crystal, I get pissed off at Netflix all over again. The cancellation of Age of Resistance is probably the biggest Netflix disappointment I've had. People joke about Netflix cancelling shows after three seasons, but we didn't even get a second season.
