You all think rent will go down in light of the CDC updates and delta variant spread? Was about to sign a lease for September but thinking prices might fall if I wait

I don’t think so personally. Boston has a very high vax rate so delta won’t be as impactful here. Also students will be back so I think prices will go up

like

I think they may go down or stay flat. Because the prices in my building haven’t changed in like 7 months. Still deals to be found. They’re cheaper now than ever actually (people moving into my building have no security deposit; I had one but negotiated mine down to half). The media just likes to create drama. Also, negotiate always.

Unlikely to go down given that Boston isn’t like SF where it’s tech-heavy. High student population (which is back in person) and biotech (which has been in person). Plus vaccination rates are high and guidelines have always been stricter here

I quit drinking at the first of the year because I was drinking too much as a way to cope with Covid. 99.9% of the time, I’m glad I quit drinking. And then there are those nights when I just want a glass of something to take the edge off, which makes me think alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than I thought and it’s probably a good thing I’m not drinking. I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.
