...long-impending irritation finally arrived this week. A publishing firm in Lexington, Mass., wrote to request something or other and included in its return address a number, 02173-8087.

That's a heck of a return. But it's also backward-looking. If interest rates rise, the housing market will almost certainly slow. And in that case, the gap between renting and buying will start to close...
