I understand what you mean. If someone is willing to pay a price for something, then it must be worth that. I believe that the value of the housing market will tumble back down. The way I feel is that if my house shot up to 450k from 300k, but falls right back down to 300k, it wasn't really worth 450k. To someone it was, but those prices were hyper inflated for a short period of time. I would just hope my taxes reflect my lower home value when it falls back down.

"I have AWD and snows I don't need to slow down!"
God my car is good in the snow but it sure as hell doesn't have a magic ability to stop on black ice or slush.

Admittedly Colorado was the first place that I've ever seen people drive around with just plain coffee mugs filled with boiling hot coffee. No travel mugs. Just... Mugs.

To be specific it's always people from NYC or around it. Mid state and the north contry NY has two seasons, winter and one week in july.

It's always a 4x4 with nice tires sitting in the median as a fleet of shitty fucked up paint 99 civcs with all season tires drive past.

That comment isn't accurate. Ive been looking at everything under 550 and Ive seen plenty of places that are super rough in Middlesex country that are 500-550 where there are like 30 people at the open house and it goes way over asking in a day. Id be happy to buy a house that needs some elbow grease to make nice but the options out there are like buy something under 600k that has major structural flaws you can't afford to repair or move out west and have a 2 hour commute or just continue getting outbid by contractors and investors who will either tear down or flip these places because they actually have the cash

"F-ing Assholes in front of me"...
Pretty much a general-use go-to for any situation.

Define "not true." If people are paying these prices, then the prices are...real.

Thanks so much for that link! That's very helpful, better than the other health connector site (why are there two? Haha).

I live in the springs, grew up in MA. Driving in MA is a calculated madness. In Colorado people simply don't know how to drive. Yesterday I saw someone come to a completely dead stop in a rotary in order to let someone merge in.

https://betterhealthconnector.com/get-an-estimate to see options before actually applying. Use a zip code near where you think you'll move.
You apply for all household members on the same application. You can apply up to 60 days before you move, once you get an address. And you update your application as changes occur during the year, such as changes in immigration status.

I have tells for bad snow drivers, not so much nicknames, though I use them as nicknames something:
Florida plates or Green plates = Old drivers, avoid during snow travel.
No headlights = it's law that you have to have lights on in bad weather here in Mass, but people still don't and it's not really enforced. So, when people do it, you know they aren't thinking of other drivers on the road and being visible to them.

To answer your first question, no there is no option like that in MA. You cannot view what you're qualified for before MA health connector approves you.

I’ve heard “dinghy” for out of state people who don’t know how to handle a rotary and just follow the tail of someone else to get through, like dinghies following a larger boat.
