Are the empty bedrooms in baby boomer homes a solution to the millennial US housing crunch?
One American generation is struggling to find affordable housing. A second is sitting at home with a lots of empty bedrooms. Real estate site Trulia argues it’s a match made in housing-market heaven.
Sky-high rents and house prices keep squeezing American’s finances. Home-ownership rates are well below (pdf) pre-recession levels, while the share of US income spent on rent has spiked from 21% to more than 25% in the last five years. As 90% of retirement-age older Americans say they want to stay in their homes, and millennial renters are desperate for cheaper rents, Trulia thinks “boom-mates” are an answer.
To get a handle on its potential, Trulia used US Census data to calculate the number of vacant bedrooms in households headed by people born no later than 1964 (the last year of the baby boomer generation). By identifying the total number of bedrooms, then subtracting the the number of inhabitants and one additional bedroom to account for alternate uses such as a home office, Trulia says there are 3.6 million bedrooms vacant in the 100 largest US metro areas. Top markets had an average of 4.2 bedrooms per household and 2.6 household members.
The most available bedrooms were in New York (177,734), Atlanta (141,462), Washington (133,685), and Los Angeles (114,731), where about 3% to 5% of homes have spare capacity. Landlords in those cities could earn an estimated $11,000 per year by renting out rooms. In San Francisco, despite having relatively few available bedrooms (22,003), the highest returns were on offer: $21,780. On the other side of the coin, renters in Boston, New York, and the Bay Area could save the most, about $11,000 per year, by renting rooms from boomers rather than getting their own one-bedroom apartments in those cities.
What millennial would want to live with someone’s grandma? Plus I bet those empty city bedrooms are used as guest rooms,, libraries, offices, or hobby rooms.

Trump may be considering replacing Sessions with Giuliani

D fens That will cause an uproar!!
Does anybody have an opinion on amsoil? I am thinking of taking my car to a garage, that uses amsoil. I think I will have to get amsoil transmission fluid too if I switch to amsoil.
Current garage has changed management and tried to gouge me last week. Claimed the entire ac system on my wife’s car needed to be replaced for 3k and there were no refurbished parts parts available. I took it to a place that specializes in ac and heaters for cars. They replaced the compressor with a brand new oem one and vacuumed and recharged the system for $800 including tax and labor.
Jj I use whatever synthetic is on sale-valvoline, Mobil one Castro etc. my last car a Saturn got me to 255k with no oil leaks over 15 years. I got rid of it due to the old man age smell. Current cars have 135k and 175k using plain synthetic. Btw I enjoyed ex pats chart a few weeks back. But I can tell you getting more than 15 years out of a car is tough not mechanically but the interior just goes to hell especially as the sun deteriorates the plastic inside 10 hours a day in a parking lot.
Fanboy
Ask for a generic synthetic if they carry it. Generic synthetics are sold only to dealers, lube shops, etc. They cost 1/2 the price or less of the name brands. The specs are equal to or sometimes better than the name brands. Mobil 1 being the most over-hyped of them all. Any generic synthetic meeting SN or GL5 specs will more than do the job.
Also, any full synthetic transmission like Amsoil will do the job. Amsoil will be way overpriced, though. If you do get your transmission fluid changed, make sure you ask for the product manufacturers compatibility sheet. It has to list your manufacturer and it’s specified fluid.
Ask me how I know.
Change transmission fluid?
Check to see if this is even required or recommended. Yeah, you read that right.
Anyone here ever brave enough to fix a fan motor on an AC Condenser. Fan motor stopped for the second time in three years. First time HVAC tech charged me about $450 to replace the motor itself, a bit much for a service call and parts etc. I am thinking it might just be the Run Start Capacitor this time. 240 volts however always gives me pause, not so sure if I want to take it apart to put a multimeter on it.
Change the cap first.
Your service disconnect is right next to the compresor, open the box, flip the shutoff.
Any name brand oil is fine. I changed the oil in my truck with whatever was on sale at Walmart and traded it in with 225k miles after ten years.
I think I changed the Automatic Transmission fluid once on the truck.
My newer vehicles both have CVT’s. I buy that fluid from the dealer as it’s a bit harder to find and I don’t want them giving me any crap if the transmission fails and I make a warranty claim.
Most trans fluids will last the life of the transmission. Changing it will not extend the service life of the trans. Expect 200k out of a current transmisssion.
Most people can’t figure out chickens and eggs. They start having trans problems and change their fluid thinking it’s going to magically fix it.
Xolepa
I am guessing you have an expensive story to tell.
My wife’s car has a cvt transmission. The transmission died at 29k. It was still under warranty. The dealer replaced it with an updated version. When I went to get the car’s 45k service done the dealer claimed I should change the transmission fluid based on mileage and the fluid looked dirty. I pointed out the transmission had 15k on it and since the new transmission lacks a dipstick, how could they have seen the fluid in it?
I only go to dealerships now for recall work.
I still don’t know what to do about the cvt transmission. Some people claim change the fluid at 100k miles, other people say never change it.
This site and publication of data does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the listed boarding homes by Mental Health America of Greater Dallas.
I’m sure there are plenty of places who charge the customer to change the trans fluid and never do a single thing.
Fanboy,
No, read the story:
For most of all my working years, I was a corporate IT guy, mostly independent consulting, but f/t employee since about 2003. About 38 years total. About a dozen years ago my wife and I looked around and saw the real picture – not many IT guys employed in the field after age 60. I had 10 years to go at that time. It turns out that my former next door neighbor (from the 80s) was selling his Auto quick lube retail business after 15 years ownership. He opened it up himself in anticipation of being canned one day. And he did get canned.
Anyway, I paid a real tidy sum for the business. I was the silent owner of that business for 10 years and kept my f/t job (without corporate knowing about it) until 2 months after I turned 60. Corporate then gave me my walking papers, severance, etc.
The very next weekday I went f/t into my business and raised sales by 40%. Come some months ago I got an unsolicited offer for the business and sold it recently. I am now retired with income properties sustaining me. I’m ok.
Now, as to oil, fluids, etc. I learned alot on the subject matters and did my research. Grim, you are wrong. All oils and fluids, especially transmission, have to be changed according to schedule. The manufacturers now seal most transmissions from above but still have recommended change intervals. It’s that you can’t do it by yourself nor even the run of the mill shop. You have to use a special trans fluid exchanger where you disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes/hoses at the transmission cooler and direct them to the machine. My shop had an older unit that did do that, but you need a specific kind of fitting for each car, just about. Too much to handle. I purchased a different style exchanger that used the dipstick, going in/out in intervals. That’s if the car had a dipstick, otherwise no do. CVT transmissions I would not touch them at all, but they all still have recommended interval changes.
So you guys can call me the oil man. I think I know what I’m talking about. And name brands don’t matter. It’s the spec and who actually did the refining.
I swear I might know the purchaser of your business…….was he an equity trader that was laid off about 6 months ago? I heard a story just like yours about a month ago.
The person is the dad of twins who are some of my son’s best friends……
Is your buyer from Colts Neck and is the business near the Route 1 corridor?
If you are uncomfortable answering, I understand……..he was quite impressed with you, and the efficiency you brought to bear on the operation……

Thanks for the info. I think will get the cvt fluid changed this week at a different dealership. Non dealership garages either don’t want to touch a cvt or will only change the fluid if it is green and clean. Cvt fluid change is about $225 with tax, a new transmission is $4,100
Chicago, you got gonged on that. Sold to big player on other side of state. No more details on that, hehe.
Fanboy, dealerships are probably your only choice on this. If I had to spring for a dedicated machine for CVTs, it would run about $5k. And the risks in the process are much higher than those for conventional fluid.
Xolepa,
Thank. I called the local transmission shop the auto ac repair shop recommended and was told they would only change the fluid if it was green and clean. They didn’t want the responsibility if it was dirty. They also told me a new transmission and their labor charge to install it was $4,100. And with cvts they only replace them, they will not try to repair them. Off to the dealership I go.

That was an awful list. It’s silly to group surgeons as one category. All I saw was managers on it. And they were too lazy to compute the hourly wage for 10 month employees.
‘It’s nice to have an alpha male in charge unlike the last guy who epitomized the image of a beta cuck, kowtowing and apologizing to our enemies.’
He’s certainly tapped into that emasculated white male vote. If he can sustain it he’ll probably never drop below 35% approval, which puts GOP politicians in a tough spot.
He’s certainly tapped into that emasculated white male vote.

But in the meantime none of it matters. The USA continues its descent into madness.
No one talks about it, being that it hurts economic growth, but the safest way to invest is to keep your money in powder and invest after every correction. Watch it go up for two years, sell, wait again….wash, rinse, and repeat. So basically buy and sell once or twice a decade. Only problem, if everyone did this, it will hurt long term economic growth as the capital is pulled out and sits idle on the side line. Prob why they don’t tell people to do this and instead tell them to buy and hold, so that economic growth is more structured and stable.

How did you flush the fluid from the trans cooler?
…and all the pipes/hoses?
The manufacturers service manual just says to open the drain plug, let it drain, replace it and fill it through the dipstick tube. You’re overthinking it.
From the internets-For a 10 year old vehicle I wouldn’t recommend a flush. A flush is a pressurized fluid push through the transmission, and although a good machine can exchange around 98% of the old fluid for new, there is the possibilty of damage. At our shop we don’t do them on vehicles with more than 60,000 miles. The reason for this is that there is an internal liability once the transmission has some wear/aging on it. The internal seals may not handle that much force on them, and if they break, that vehicle won’t be driving out of that shop, or if it does, look for big problems down the road. The unit will basically have to be rebuilt. I would recommend a fluid and filter change. With this service, you will not get all the fluid out of the transmission. There will be fluid trapped in the torque converter (4-6 quarts) and as much as 4 quarts trapped in other places like the cooler and cooler lines etc. You may only get 4-6 quarts of old fluid drain out. This is why you want to stay ahead of the fluid curve and change your fluid every 25,000-30,000 miles.

I do not have a degree in finanace. What I see is very low interest rates for a very long time. What I believe is such low rates for such a long time are a way to falsely prop up what is a sick situation. What would happen to the economy if rates were raised to a more normal (or medial ) level? Maybe low rates are just the new normal. If that were true and rates could be fixed, okay , but they are not. My concern is what happens when those with the most chips decide it’s time to call the game and cash out…

When hyperinflation hits we will all be millionaires
re: “What I see”
The Fed’s “plan” is to move to a more “normal” ever so slowly contingent upon nothing going wrong. The “truth” is the Fed has no idea. This decade long monetary liquidity flooding “experiment” has only been done by a single country like Zimbabwe or Venezuela not the entire world. We all know what happens when a country devalues but what are the consequences for when the entire world devalues?
We simply cannot compare what lies ahead to any other point in economic history.
For me I really can draw only one real conclusion. In our global floating fiat system where there is now 5 trillion in daily global currency trading, the only thing our central bankers know how to do and actually can do anymore is devalue.
Get ready for it.

Investigators discovered smashed hard drives and other damaged equipment at Awan’s house in Virginia. Awan left his home after he learned he was under investigation, and one of his new tenants discovered the broken hard drives and reported them to authorities. The FBI has since confiscated the equipment.
One of new tenants — a Marine Corps veteran married to a female Navy Officer — said he found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”
The tenants called the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and not long after, FBI agents arrived together with the Capitol Police to interview them and confiscate the equipment. The Marine spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns for his wife’s naval career, saying she doesn’t want to be associated with a national security incident.
On the bright side, this longest bull run in history has delayed the day of reckoning slightly. But the market will eventually correct and then…popcorn time!
““The country has experienced an economic downturn each decade since World War II and many economists fear that another one will occur soon,” the report said. “Under current conditions, the policy response to another economic downturn would prove quite challenging for New Jersey.””
Paradise…you actually read these things?
I thought I was the only one, well, besides plumpy.
12:57 are you f*cking Kidding me?
Teachers, Cops, and Firefighters to NJ TaxPayers…..F*** You Pay Me.
I have a number of friends on multiple forces. If you read their Facebook posts, you would think they are all headed to a life of poverty in retirement. This one is from today. I love this guy and he’s a done a lot for our family as part of the PBA, but the entitlement comes through just a little too clearly in these.
So let me get this straight a supposed pro union and “supporter” of public employees just picked a running mate that is pro pension reform, which has cost public workers thousands of dollars each year since the enactment of Chapter 78? Retirees, your COLA? Your not going to see that returned anytime soon… New hires, retirement? Good luck! I really hope you guys have a “Plan B” because you will all be working a second career after retirement, because in 30 years that 60% pension (if there is one) isn’t going to get you very far… I’m glad I stuck to my core beliefs and voted Republican in the primary and will again in the general election. At least I can rest my head on my pillow at night, knowing I was not fooled by more false promises… The front runner in this election is a continuation of the current State Administration, hence their pick for the Lt. Governor….***Please refrain from making any inflammatory or derogatory comments on my wall. I know how you all feel. It doesn’t need to be verbalized through negativity…Just get out and vote for who you believe is being more truthful…***
And the responses:
Point being, they all do what they need to do to stay in power. The American people will never win as long as this corrupted two party system continues.
So true *** I was checking on line yesterday on my pension .it’s going to be shit when i retire because I started in the pension system 5 years ago and am 47 now so thank God I have other income
So far my education is well over $120,000 and I still have more to go. I knew these days would come and I secured my future with a “Plan B.” I can leave this job tomorrow and make the same salary I’m making today, if our system were to collapse. ALL public employees need a “Plan B”
2:39 guy sounds like a moron.
What bugs me is that they complain about how NJ is expensive and move out of state to retire…….clear conscience…..sleep well at night…..always say how happy they are to leave……locusts…..

3:29 You don’t even own property in New Jersey you Poof.
I’ll repeat that….you have the gall to criticize working people….who often live in hardship to afford life in the more expensive places, places where you can’t even be see your way clear to buy a home in, and somehow they should ‘retire’ here on their big fat pensions? Pensions that average about $30k for most per year. Yet that would mean living at poverty level, while they can leave, go to a cheaper place and live comfortably, after a long career of serving your kind here in NJ. What a complete tool. Laughable if it were not so pathetic.
Ex lots of retired cops in New Jersey retiring my get 50 percent of their final salary as a pension after 20 years.
I don’t think a bunch of teachers making $65k a year is why NJ is so expensive.
Police. Firefighters? Their pensions aren’t in trouble.

It’s the state employees and teachers that have to worry.
Fuggedaboutit
Lots of misinformation from our old pal Essex. whats the starting salary for a nj state cop these days?
Dfens wonder why the new name.
He moved to soCal didn’t he?
Cops have always had a little better deal than teachers…
best thing in New Jersey is this blog
Police do have the better deal. That’s because they are the enforcers. They will always get paid
