I bought a condo in 2015 and it was the correct decision. Stuff breaks, I’ve got to deal with my condo neighbors, and all the usual home ownership stuff, but I’m still glad I did it. I’m friends with most of the people in my building, there’s zero chance of my mortgage payment increasing, and my housing is stable. Even if it didn’t appreciate in value, which it does, I still make money in equity by paying down the principle every month.

Ultimately, you have to decide what’s right for you. Every case is different.

I've had a mixed experience. I liked my PCP, but I found some of his PAs to be inattentive and dismissive. One nearly missed my pneumonia cause she didn't think that I had been sick for long enough. My PCP retired and I've only seen my new one once, so I don't have an opinion on her. When I injured my wrist, they referred me to a orthopedist that was past I95, which was weird. My dermatologist and gastroenterologist are good. My psychiatrist was good, but she left the CHA because it was a dumpster fire. They replaced her with a nurse practitioner who was way in over her head and had no clue what she was doing. After a year, I left and followed my old psychiatrist to her private practice once it had room.

I'm looking to switch to MGH cause they have better specialists and surgeons and it can be hard to get referrals to MGH specialists without a PCP there.
