My wife works in Healthcare tech.
I am the director of a nonprofit and teach classes at the local university. I work a lot but am fortunate to love what I do.

Yes we are. We reached a point as renters that we could've paid off nearly half a house already over the last decade. We bit the bullet in order to build ourselves equity

My (31m) wife (32f) and I have a combined annual income of about $250k and just bought a 4-bed home in northern Fairfield county for $548k with $75k down. Our mortgage/insurance/taxes comes to about $3500/mo. While it feels like a lot, and it is, we were just throwing money away renting and we are feeling lucky to have gotten the house we did. Once we have kids we'll really have to tighten up the budget. The system feels broken. I'm not an economist but the bigger housing picture feels unsustainable to me.

Ironically there used to be one of the oldest Modells in the country in that shopping center

Someone's dog kills a rabbit and the first thought is to rush to the internet to see if any local strangers want the carcass.
I've been on reddit 10+ years and this may be the oddest thing I've come across.
And now here I am, commented about it from my couch 4 towns away.

One very important thing to remember when making your final decision about who to vote for is that Bob Stefanowski is tall. Like, really tall!

Would be nice to see a grocery market in downtown. Will probably just be another mediocre restaurant though
