      and he reminds me: don’t let people tell you we’re asking for too much, because the Boomers got to have this at our age and even more.

      back home I tried to forget about the afternoon light streaming through that living room and focus on the light in the room we have now, the sun setting on one bedroom and one bath that is still ours. #theend

      postscript: thanks everyone for all the kind words! I joke that anyone who’s bought or rented a home in the past 10 years is ready to be a housing activist. But I also wanted to clarify a few things:

      as a realtor and an urban planner, I have spent 100s of hours figuring out where we can live that my non-driving BF can actually get places without relying on a car: walking distance to grocery stores, major bus routes or ideally Metro.

      as most of y’all know there *are not* many of these places in MoCo. We live in downtown Silver Spring now, and leaving it could mean a big step down for them to get places by foot or transit.

      so when I talk about housing stuff I get a ton of advice like “have you considered X neighborhood” and the answer is usually yes, and we decided it wasn’t worth a three-bus commute to work or a 30 minute walk to the grocery store.

      *it does not have to be like this*, even in a “suburban” county. and in some areas, it’s slowly changing. But we’re looking for a place where you can walk to things today, not in 10 years.

      and this is why close-in Silver Spring/Takoma Park/Bethesda/King Farm/Kentlands/etc are so expensive: they are a handful of places in MoCo where walking is easy, convenient, and safe. Urbanism shouldn’t be a luxury good!

      I work with clients who seek these kind of places, and this year especially it’s been a frustrating and demoralizing process. It’s definitely been for me too.

      but anyway here’s what we seek (if you know anybody who’s selling) —2+ bedroom condo or townhouse —at least 1.5 baths —DTSS, East Silver Spring, Long Branch —maybe Forest Glen or Wheaton (within 15min walk of both Metro & a grocery store)

          When MoCo legalizes four-plexes we'll raze and replace and you can live next door ;)

          I could see a future career where I come to your fourplex, sprinkle some holy water on it, and bless it for occupancy
