    try living in a new ‘luxury’ building where the walls are paper thin, you can hear your neighbors business, and it’s falling apart because it’s made of the cheap shoddy materials. but it looks all shiny and nice!

    plaster is quiet as fuck and old brickwork lasts forever.

      oh for sure, especially boston. bunch of cheap shit thrown down by private equity REIT’s just price gouging yuppie college kids/families fir every $ they can.

      idk though, the century old buildings always seem to have mold/airflow issues ime.

        i don’t live in a wet environment. zero issues with anything in the 6 years i’ve lived here than old appliances needing to be replaced when they break.
