A2: Lifestyle

Katherine Salant has an op/ed in the Washington Post about downsizing from her Ann Arbor home to a much smaller New York City apartment, where she and her husband are living during his sabbatical from UM. “We’re in a brand-new building with brand-new everything in our apartment. I finally have a kitchen with a granite countertop. But when I try to imagine permanently moving to something comparably sized – from our 3,000-square-foot house to a 1,000-square-foot apartment with no garage, basement or attic to absorb the overflow – I see some hard choices ahead.” [Source]
