His Son Pays Him $400 Rent: 'Just Enough To Sting, But Nowhere Near Market Rate'
Maybe because we’re the same age—48—a lot of what Kevin writes here and elsewhere resonates with me. Plus, he’s a great writer. He keeps things clear, but eloquent in a straightforward way.
You’re not going to believe what his 18-year old son is doing/does. This also resonates because I knew what I wanted to do at a very young age and started doing it at 13. Even though my radio career was relatively short in duration, it set the stage for everything I’ve been able to do work-wise since then. Plus, it helped me meet a lot of great people I would not have met otherwise. It also triggered my love for traditional cities and interest in urban planning.
To that end, Kevin and I share a concern: That the type of urban life we were able to have as younger Gen Xers isn’t/won’t be available to his kids.
My questions are in bold, followed by Kevin’s answers.
