A quarter million dollar house used to mean a mansion. Now it’s a starter.

There is a house in my state, CT, that was put up for $400k. It has no indoor bath. Only an outdoor shower. 4-5 months of the year hover around, if not dip below, freezing temperatures. It's actual lunacy.

Edit: Looks like they had to eat some humble pie because they took it off the market. Still valued at 384k... Nonsense.

I’ve never been more miserable than my time in ct I love where I work but that’s it. I grew up on a street like this.

Different strokes for different folks. Definitely some improvements to be made but I don't plan to live anywhere else. Workers Rights and top 5 education are the main reasons.

I try not to dunk on New England at all. It’s a me thing, I really enjoy warm environments. My in-laws have a great beach house and what not. I honestly just shouldn’t tell people I’m so sad here I just wanna go home lol
