Apartment Look

Unable to commit. Fear of missing out on something else (#FOMO). Not ready to settle down. No, we're not referring to your ex. Renters also often get a bad rap for being more flighty than their homeowner peers. And it isn't completely unfounded. Nearly two-thirds of renters, about 64%, plan to settle down in a different city, according to an Apartment List report . So where do they want to go? And, perhaps more importantly, where do they want to leave? The rental website surveyed about 24,000 renters, nearly two-thirds of whom were millennials, and then dug into its own internal data for the report. Apartment List looked at 50 large metros across the country for the report. It turns out renters in the priciest metros on the coasts, such as New York and San Francisco, and in inland cities where costs are rising rapidly, like Denver and Austin, TX, are the most eager to move.

At the end of one sticky month during the summer of 2017, Elizabeth Bolles will have finished packing the contents of her Riverbend apartment. She, her partner, their two young sons and two dogs will then pile into her Subaru and drive 350 miles to Houston, where her partner will start a new job.   The move is the upshot of six years of frustration and disappointment for Bolles since she graduated from Tulane University's law school in 2011. Since then, she's struggled to find a well-paying job in New Orleans; she's been runner-up for several positions and has worked odd jobs and short-term gigs to make ends meet . She's in the same boat as many of her friends and acquaintances in the city — a one- time National Merit Scholar who's been waiting tables for a decade, a buddy with two doctorates who can't find a professional job .   "You hear one person's story," Bolles says, "and you think maybe there's something going on with them, maybe...

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts’ booming economy is bringing with it a downside for those looking to rent an apartment or buy a home in the state: soaring housing costs , particularly in the greater Boston area . The problem isn’t new, but it’s more acute in places where the economy has taken off, spurred by a surge in the life sciences sector and the arrival of top companies like General Electric to the state. That upward pressure is one reason why Beacon Hill leaders are continuing to look for ways to create new affordable housing units while preserving existing units . Gov. Charlie Baker this week announced $72 million in housing subsidy funds and additional state and federal tax credits to 25 projects across the state. The goal is to help create, refurbish and preserve 1, 970 housing units , including units reserved for low- income families and families making their way out of homelessness.

Almost 10 years ago, Cactus Club Cafe made an announcement that sent shockwaves across the food world. Rob Feenie, then one of the country’s brightest culinary stars , would be going to work for the Vancouver-based “casual fine dining” chain. The move was calculated on both sides – at the time, Feenie was looking for a stable place to land after walking away from his two restaurants, the result of an acrimonious split with his former business partners. And Cactus Club could cash in on the cachet and street cred a name such as Feenie’s carried at a time when the power of food culture and food television (of which Feenie had been a star) was becoming fully realized. Still, the reaction was swift. “Yikes, Feenie really sold out on this one,” one commenter on the the foodie forum eGullet said at the time. “The power of the dollar!” That announcement was just the start. In the near-decade since, many of the best restaurants across Canada have seen their top talent leave for jobs at c...

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Governor Snyder took a personal tour through the soon-to-be Grandview Apartments Wednesday morning . It only took a 15 minutes through the former Holy Family Orphanage built in 1915 in Marquette for Governor Snyder to be impressed with the transformation to these affordable apartments . "It’s incredible to see how they’ve saved a number of the features," said Governor Snyder. "Just the sand stone, if you look at the porch of this place, it really is incredible." But it wasn’t just the historic features that impressed Snyder, it’s the fact that these apartments are affordable housing units where rent will be dependent on income and size. "This is a place for people to come to try to better their lives and to have better access to work employment opportunities ," said Snyder.
