That is one reason why I'm not in the northeast anymore. When my rent went from $450 to $490 per month 2 years ago I moved outside for $80 a month. The trip to the airport was 45 minutes each way. Now I have a hangar drive just under 10 minutes and pay $240 per quarter. Smaller hanger but it works for me.

Tailing aircraft to each other (one tail alongside the others fuselage) will park two planes in a space only a little larger than that required for one. (In other words, nest them such as many T-hangars do it...without the walls being between aircraft.)

Huh. I've proven that hangar rash happens in single-occupancy hangars, predating my current multi-occupancy, which is rash-free (so far). Heck, I've proven it can even happen outside a hangar, if you turn the airplane too close to it!
