So long as the house you're wanting to buy isn't a shitheap, and you've got enough money to stomach the high interest rates until they crash and you can refinance, there's no reason not to buy property. If you're able to sell and buy in the same market, like we did last year, your high price sale offsets the high price purchase, and you're (hopefully) in a nicer house than when you started.

Absolutely allow people to celebrate that there hasn’t been a mass shooting in their state. Come on.

Edit; yes it’s likely more about statistics due to our low population, but still, go us even if it’s a spurious statistic

>It’s 7-10 hours to get to Dallas from PVD

Can support this; PVD to DTW to KAUS. 90 Min on the first leg and five hour transit time (four hours corrected for the time zone change)

Funny enough, the Boss was still not happy (rather I spend more time in the airports on connections getting a flight into Killeen instead of having to pay two guys two hours each to roundtrip to Austin)

What I communicated further below is that Boston does not have as strong an international network as other east coast airports. So...you end up having a stop even when flying out of Boston in many instances. So I would rather have a one stop in Newark or Dulles out of PVD than a commute to Boston and a stop somewhere else.

306 mass shootings is less than 1 per million people. RI not having one is likely just due to statistics unfortunately. Gun violence is a plague that impacts the entirety of the country, even if there are none in RI.
