@furious_cs@AmusedCynic1982@AlexNoonan6 They can and they do all the time. It’s called a COLA. Most employers are not paying you a DC/NY salary to live in Dallas. Entry level in NY is like 30k more salary. On 130k you’re paying NYS like 8k. Not nothing, but you’re still 22k ahead and living in NY with better options.
@tardedlib The exact opposite. I wasn’t on a private island smoking crack. I was at the Super 8 off I95 in West Haven. Very different class of people, and with more integrity than any of those people.
@DAlanBaker@HollyBullardFL Property taxes in NY and VA are like half what my apartment rent was in either.
I don’t care what you do in FL - I’m happy to pay taxes to help my community - but i loathe paying them only to see them get redistributed by the socialist Feds to freeloading states like yours.
@ParkMikep0224@Buccigross Fair point on the Bills, but different group of guys all together.
BUF-TB-MTL were separated by a grand total of 3 points - any of them could’ve won the division up until the last week. I’d say it was evenly matched. Unfortunate end, but it’s not six years in a row. Yet, anyway.
@ParkMikep0224@Buccigross “Always choking Buffalo team” and it’s the first time they made the playoffs in 14 years smdh. I think they had a great run, considering how things looked for them when I was home for the holidays.
@MoreOrLessAMess The problem with 83 in London was night during the day, it was at night. The AC sucked, the windows don’t really give you any circulation, just a small tabletop fan. Daytime heat is fine if you can cool down at night - even 104 in Sevilla felt much better at night (inside only)
@electionsjoe I paid $300 a month (two roommates) with a huge half-covered porch, extra sitting room, guest bedroom, laundry, driveway, sliding pocket doors, fireplace, storage, walking distance to bars & the subway on like 30k a year waitressing. Peak Buffalo bar scene, out every night.
@TPCarney And they want to sell you that house for 50 times what they paid for it even though nothing has been updated since 1987. Miss me with this - I don’t feel bad for retired millionaires who constantly block new development to “protect the value of their home”.
@Colin_d_m@MTabarrok This is v frequent in WNY/CNY - there is not enough demand to build it all at once, so half becomes a development ready lawn until the demand arises to develop it.
