Tell me about it! People getting priced out of Boston have spiked the housing costs in central Mass beyond what the average income here can support. Meanwhile our government continues to only take token actions to address these issues. Relying on the private sector to work itself out is never going to work.

Well with the interest rate hikes they may be listed at 1.2M but may not be selling, or selling fast, if at all. Look at the days listed. A Large number of homes near me are listed about 200k higher than the estimated value. All of them are sitting there 30+ days. The 1.2M house you mentioned has been listed for sale since December and only dropped the price 4k. Even properties at 500-700k are sitting for greater than 30 days.

Inspections are back on the menu!

Okay so how would you have reacted? If someone points what appears to be a gun at you (while you yourself are armed) are you just going to allow that weapon to be pointed at you? Or will you eliminate the threat? You would Prbbly defend your self. If you believe that you wouldn’t have shot someone aiming a weapon at you, then you have NO survival instincts. You should actually be sympathetic to the officer, but your too close minded to think that way. That cop made a split second decision that ANY human being would make (assuming they have survival instincts). Seriously asking, how old are you?

Important to note. Iknow the family, I know this woman who was killed. It’s horrible, it makes me sick and I am not even ready to reach out to the family to wish them my condolences. Even though I was personally effected, I still have the brain capacity to understand that the cop did what ANY person would do. It’s embarrassing for you as a person to think otherwise

No it actually does not mean that at all, they said she posed no threat because the weapon she used was not a REAL weapon. Someone familiar with Linux, you would think you could process this logically, clearly you cannot. She came outside with a BB gun, and the cops had to make a split second decision. Important to note the BB gun had no orange tip

You should do some research first of all. She came out of the house with what looked to be a rifle, and even threatened to use it on officers. Note, I know the family involved, she had just lost a son in a car accident. Complete tragedy, but you should not be so judgmental of the officer, he had to make a split second decision
