Ogden has a bike lane? That's new to me. Not saying it doesn't, but that's wonderful news. :)

If you get hit by a car you might bank enough to blow it all in a year or two ....

$500 monthly x 30 years = $180,000... good luck finding $500 a month rent now, let alone in 30 years.

That webpage is squirrely. After a few seconds, it turns into something else. Never seen anything like that, but I don't think it's good. Caveat clickor.

Ogden is an extreme example of a bad implementation of a bike lane. It has a lane and then it changes to sharrows on a four-lane section which gets very very busy at rush hour. Then it is back to bike lane briefly over the Ike. Taking a lane in the sharrowed sections between Adams and Taylor can be pretty harrowing.

Perhaps I got spoiled living on the north side where angle streets are generally pretty good biking routes. On the south side they totally suck.

Hey everyone, the HUB is a real co-op, it's great (I know cuz I live here), and the point of this thread is that Ted has a great unit for sale. The monthly cost is more than just the mortgage - there's a carrying charge so that we can pay our building's insurance and property tax, etc. But it's still a good deal, and plus you get intentional community and bike-friendliness.
