And no dedicated baggers. Charging me for bags.

It honestly a nice little store just Jesus, too expensive.

It really depends on the area. Sale prices on houses in my admittedly less desirable neighborhood are only up 20%, maybe 25% from 2019, but that's not actually far off from inflation. It's mortgage rates that have really raised the cost of owning a home, combined with inflation way outpacing salaries.

Because people get forced to sell eventually. Divorce, death or moving for a job.

I saw a statistic that something like 98% of homeowners (with and without a mortgage) have rates under current levels of 7%. So most people ain’t incentivized to sell.

MI and MA would have different time zones...

The barn in GField. Really more of a grocery outlet analog, but it's cheap.

Yes, and the real estate agents are already sending spam calls and texts.

My local GameStop is more expensive than Amazon, sells opened games as new and is basically a ghost town at this point. If you’re shilling their shitty stock because you’re in a memestonk cult, gtfo here baggie.

Things at big y are never really on sale. When I worked there we just jacked the prices up, the week before a sale, so the sale price was just regular price. They were pretty shitty to employees as well.

I worked there years ago. We had to change the prices the week before a sale (raising them of course) so that things looked like they were on sale.

Negotiating is not the same as financial loss. If they don’t want to negotiate, they’re going to lose me. If they’re okay with that, great. Maybe we will all be happier. But I don’t think that’s the case. I think they are gambling that I will resign at the higher rate because it’s easier than moving. You be you, sure, but you literally don’t know me, or anything about my situation beyond what I have represented here. Why be unpleasant? Nobody, literally nobody was unpleasant to you. Why be angry/insulting? Unless that’s just who you are at this point.

Even the old “boomer rule” of 28/36 resulted in spending a little over 3x household income on a home. So yes you’re thinking quite conservatively. Not a bad thing, but it’s not going to get you anywhere in today’s housing market. I don’t realistically see a path forward to increasing supply in Greater Boston.

Unpopular opinion I guess but I prefer EST. I like being in the same time zone as the rest of the Eastern seaboard and being an hour off from Connecticut would be so annoying because I go there all the time (Connecticut would never Change away from EST because of their proximity to New York City).

Bb, who's upset? There have been roughly a half dozen comments clarifying exactly what I said about the rest of the area. I'm not trying to be a dick about spelling; literally this error muddled what you were trying to say.

Oh that’s awful! Never mind the guy not reading what the nurses input like did he not even look at his foot?!?

Not a bad nut of profit for the guy

I don’t think the fact that I’m not willing to overextend and jeopardize my retirement savings is the issue… supply is the issue.

Nope, I’m perfectly fine with bouncing back and forth btw EST and EDT.

Coming from a hilltown, everything in Lee feels fancy to me. But Lenox? I'm not allowed there, it's only for New Yorkers. And when I walk into Guido's, I feel like I'm in Westchester County.

Besides a nice pizza slice lunch, Big Y also has decent donuts.

So once again, you are being an asshole and trying to cause them financial losses because you don't like the rent they're proposing. Nothing further to discuss, you be you.
