    Compared to them, I’m broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it’s getting leased to us at cost.

    We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren’t stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?

      I especially hate this for soda. If you end up buying lunch or something at one of those flue flue stores, then you can’t get a regular ol diet coke or similar. You end up having to pay 5x as much for some weirdo branded “cola” that tastes like shit and pretension.

      Same, my family has lived in this house for more than 100 years. My great grandfather build it with his own hands. My grandfather and father were farmers. Now there’s new folks from the city who payed top dollar for their houses. They’re all complaining about the farm and everything my or my family does. The old neighbourhood is slowly dying (from old age), but those folks knew how to live in a rural area. These new folk want to apply the rules of the city here. I guess they’ll be turning into a suburb within the next 20 years.
