I went for a walk in the woods behind work today and discovered a little development of nicely manicured houses, all in a pretty circle. It looked like classic suburbia. It must've been recycling day, because all the little blue bins were neatly lined up on the curb. These houses would've probably been $250,000 anywhere else in the country. But Lincoln, MA? A cool $1.2 million. Sure, there's no housing bubble. No siree.
