Luckily fine. We bought a house before the pandemic, then refinanced twice into the low 2’s. Our housing costs are relatively stable for that reason, so other increased costs are not as noticeable. I feel bad for the friends that keep
having insane rent increases or are getting into mortgages much higher than mine for half the house. I look at the value of my current home coupled with current interest rates and realize I couldn’t afford to live here if I was buying it today.
Nine times out of 10 I get beer at Walmart. It seems perfectly safe right now where an attendant has to come over and check your ID to allow you to pay. If this passed, then I would have to get in one of the few remaining lines with a cashier to buy beer. This was a direct quality of life issue, and I honestly didn’t have to look into the question much further than this to come to my opinion.
Not sure why people voted the way they did on this ballot question, but the prohibition on checking out using self-checkout was the “poison pill” for me.
