Who's going to be left in this town?

From the golden book of brutalist architectural plans

The days of “normal”, middle-class families settling in are long gone, that’s for sure. For instance, here’s Bonwit Road — Bonwit Road! — gone in 60 seconds.

44 Bonwit Road was listed on June 14 at $1.750 million and is already under contract. The owners paid $550,000 for this 1955 house in 2016, stopped by Home Depot for some fiberglass tub enclosures and new wall accessories, and refurbished the place over a long weekend — voila!

The town appraises it at $999,900, which, until a few months ago I’d have considered wildly optimistic. We were both wrong.

More power to these sellers; I’m all for doing well in real estate, as they have. I’m just pointing out that in 2016 you could find a house in NoPo Riverside for $550,000, and now you can’t.

And that’s going to drastically change the make-up of the town.
