This isn't a great measure of loneliness -- being lonely and being alone aren't the same! That said, living alone is also associated with a bunch of negative health impacts

Very cool to have my work on interest-only mortgages featured on Business Insider! My main point: interest-only mortgages have lower initial payments, so it may look like they increase affordability. But house prices will rise if all buyers use the same products.

Inbox: Just 28% of NYC voters approve of Mayor Adams' job performance, compared to 58% who disapprove, per new Quinnipiac poll.
