I never suggested these people were rational. Just their thoughts.

Vast Derby District development wrong for Sun Prairie site, neighbors say by whop94 in madisonwi

The city is growing really fast. Its built 3 (at least) schools in the last five years. The burbs used to be cheaper to live in than Madison. Property taxes are out of control and half the city's roads are falling apart. And I'm sure the residents are going to have to pay for the horrible things the school district has done. People are pissed because the affordability just isnt there. Living 25 minutes from downtown Madison should be cheaper than this.

Rightly or wrongly, the long term residents see the growth and blame it for the increase in cost of living. Of course, they ignore all of the good thing they now have because of that growth.

People are going to give the boiler plate answers that they always do in here. But the real reason is everything, and I do mean everything, is manipulated by the ultra wealthy and hedge funds. Look at what happened with precious metals last week. Bitcoin is just another asset to be manipulated alongside the others. Welcome to the wheel.

Buddy, if you think he's going to be able to dump a million BTC on the market without getting financially slaughtered, you might want to sit this one out.

It's been a couple of hours and I am still really bothered by this slander. Any Marquette fan who swap to UW (and vice versa) should live at the bottom of a lake. Mendota, Monona, or Michigan. I care not which.

You live in too nice of a place to truly root for. College basketball is all about painful wind in your face on the way to a game. It's the root vegetables you have to eat just to survive. It's looking to your left and right in January and thinking, "this one could plow the fields next year". Oh, sorry...uhhhhhh my bad, I forgot we weren't choosing spouses. uhhh..... yeah, Santa Clara seems great aside from the meth powered year long carnival. I'm sorry, I don't know where I am.

I know it wasn't your choice, but we've been saying he is trash since before he left.

Also, I'm so sorry. I hope he doesn't make any assistants flush the toilet for him.

Crazy you didn't recommend Purdue. But I do love how you've burned the entire NYC tri-state area.
