It's getting harder and harder to keep
up with the demands of an old house.

Empty nesters, whether suburban
or urban or rural transplants, can probably say 'been there,
done that' to all this house fussing. And be absolutely
justified in so saying.

I agree with Wizard that older homes may not appeal to suburban empty nesters;
however, I think they are not the folks who are most impacted by the shortage of
housing in Minneapolis. In fact, it may be the pursuit of those types of buyers
that has contributed to the current housing crisis (just speculation) in the
city, where a large, family sized apartment is far too expensive for many
residents. New homes are overrated though, too. My brother lives in a home in
Farmington that he and his wife had built two years ago, and already there is
major moisture damage, and portions of the plastic siding have blown off twice
in wind storms.....but I digress.
