Yep.  Pretty fucked up ain't it?  Boston got rid of rent control about 3

I don't think it'll go _that_ high; it'll probably go up to $800 or $900,
though.

my extra time is limited; I barely even ride my bike lately :-(.

My hands have been feeling better and better.  They _almost_ feel normal
again... almost.
