This probably wasn't intentional but i think it's kinda cool
The real estate listing that appeared online Wednesday seemed to hold promise: It was located in the sought after neighborhood of Newton Highlands. It touted an open floorplan and updated finishes. The catch? It’s just 251 square feet.
In the wild Greater Boston real estate market, the Newton listing is the latest in a line of seemingly irrational prices for a place to live. The house in Newton is just one room, with a sleeping loft so close to the ceiling one can only rise to the knee.
“One of a Kind! Adorable Tiny Studio Home in Newton Highlands,” broker Hans Brings wrote in the online sales pitch for the home that sits on a 2,452-square-foot lot that includes 120 feet of frontage on Boylston Street, better known as Route 9. “Ideal for Casual Stays, Guest Home, Meditation, Exercise Room, Storage, or Whatever You Desire.”
Mull that one over for a second: $449,000 for a storage room? Put another way: That’s $1,792 per each of the 251 square feet, according to the posting on Realtor.com. Here’s one more statistic: There is more room for the three off-street parking spaces on the 2,452 square foot lot than for the house itself.
Located on a corner lot at the intersection of Boylston Street and Chestnut Street, the primary living space is a (very) compact version of a very popular design approach these days — an open floorplan that measures just 12 feet by 9 feet, according to Brings.
The broker described the amount of space in the sleeping loft this way: “If you can imagine being in a camper. You know how they have those beds above the kitchen in the camper — it would be similar to that,’' Brings said. “Maybe its twice as high as that but you need to kneel up there if you sleep up there.”
Brings said the asking price reflects what market research shows is the entry-level cost of a single family home in Newton ($500,000) and the price for a condo in Newton ($400,000).
“So we averaged them out as a kind of single family condo alternative,’' he said.
The Newton home is another example of the trend in Greater Boston where stunningly high prices are being placed on lots, existing buildings — and even damaged single

Basically in the city of Vancouver (where prices are highest and people most want to live), practically all growth is concentrated in high-rises, while most of the city is reserved for low-density detached houses.

Gordon Price thinks the "Grand Bargain" is here to stay: people don't want their neighbourhoods to change. https://viewpointvancouver.ca/2021/12/02/the-grand-bargain-in-action-vancouver-and-seattle/
Hey guys! Just a heads up that they have some earlier AEW figures in Home Bargains now and they're only £9.99. So far I've found Penta and Fenix and MJF (Series 2) 👍
I'm just casually doing some shopping there to get a few things, and then somebody decided to make a piano cover of Never Gonna Give you Up the song playing on the intercom. Amazingly, nobody else reacted to it as best I could tell - though absolutely laughing away to myself under my mask.
Here's the version that played fwiw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHMjD0Lp5DY
