Boilers last forever! I dont know why people think they are thibgs that need babysitting
Okay? And I don't want to have to pay out of my pocket for all of that stuff all on my own. I'd like to share the cost.

I don't want to live in a house by myself. I'm sorry?

The are pros and cons to owning a home and a condo/coop.I can't stand having to share a communal laundry machine with other people in my building or have to drag it over to some laundromat. I know there are a few people who actually have washer and dryer in their apartment but it is scarce. On top of that I don't want to have to deal with noisy people above or below me. I do not miss that at all. Parking is a huge PIA anywhere in the city. I love being able to park in my own driveway.
However there are nuisances with owning you own home. When stuff breaks it usually cost thousands to fix. Maintaining a house is a chore. If you want to save money you're going to have to learn to be handy.
And I don't want to be handy or pay for all of that out of just my pocket. It's really not that hard to imagine.

Yes, I'm familiar with Hannah Bronfman's background. Their son, Preston, was named after Hannah's Jewish great grandfather.

Before her son was born, she revealed why they chose the name Preston to Obama. The interview is on Hannah's instagram account. Her family has very close ties to the DNC.
