It’s a fox in heat (females are called vixens) probably won’t hear it for more than a day or two. They’re freaky sounding but nothing compared to cougars in heat, they’re terrifying

Its different now. Any house that's nice gets an offer within a day or 2. Everything else is super outdated will require a lot of work. But also inventory is ridiculously low.

>So in 3 years we will have a repeat of 2008
Why? Seriously why? Will everyone need to sell at the same time and nobody will want to buy?

After 23 years here, people say the same thing almost every year. They aren't making any more land unfortunately.

Nothing to do with current really but simply maybe steeper currently? Houses always cost more year after year. Look at the timeline for MA housing costs since 1980. Buying a house is one of the best investments you'll ever make as it has always risen. I was lucky to get into mine in 2000 saw it rise to the 2008 Great Recession and then dip but recover and is what it is today with estimates of three times what I paid for it common. I'm not selling though as my mortgage payment is much less than what I see in rental adverts for similar or smaller. It certainly is daunting.

New to politics? Been like this for centuries. The very first play in the political playbook is, "Always take credit and always pass blame."
It ain't just gas either. Anything good happening is because of my team's tireless efforts paying off. Anything bad happening is because my opponents are a bunch of thieving, corrupt bastards.

We have gas and we are paying over 400 a month. It is a big house (2200 ft.²) but something .

Protest your local zoning board — they’re filled with geriatric know-nothings who’ve created this hellscape for the rest of us.

FUUUUUCK... I overpaid for an electric car because gas was too high last year. I pay 0 for gas but National Electric owns my ass now and they don't use lube :(

Google border invasion
Google Fentynal deaths
Google massive inflation
Google war on middle class
Google weaponization of Justice Department by Biden
Start there and let me know if you still can’t figure it out. How anyone that loves their country can stand for this is beyond me

Life expectancy, poverty, educational attainment, and more are all objective measurements actually. And Massachusetts is #1. Red States hate it, but this is what peak performance looks like. Believe it or not investing in communities pays off.

Most of the time your best bet find way to get somewhere is use google maps.
While you got some suggestions buy ticket to Boston first an easier way I see ourbus.com going from NY right into Methuen you can by as single ticket
