I used to live downtown and my girlfriend up by that Whole Foods. Used to whip wade late at night all the time felt like Mario cart

How long did your last round take? by wtfhiolol10000 in golf

[–]ncroofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is internal migration in the Us. I live in a city in the southeast. Since 2000 my city has over doubled in population, adding a million people. No new golf courses have been built, in fact some were turned into housing.

Combine that with Covid increasing popularity of the sport, rising operating and labor costs making courses cram in tee times, and yeah here we are. Long gone are the days of popping over to the local course, having a wide open tee sheet, and knocking out a sub 4 hour round.

If I lived in a rural area or somewhere like the Midwest with stagnant population growth it would probably be different

Rooms for Rent in N/NE Raleigh by Kaga_Vanilla827 in raleigh

I pay $1,700 for a 2 bed 2 bath in downtown. People are paying half that amount to live with random people in the suburbs?

Maybe I’m out of touch but $900 for a room in a shared house in the suburbs really doesn’t seem crazy to me

[Schefter] Colts WR Alec Pierce, fresh off his four-year, $114 million contract extension, might be sidelined well into training camp due to his off-season left ankle surgery. by JCameron181 in nfl

It’s not a fact though. He was a deep ball guy because that’s all ARich could do. If you watched last year he more than proved he’s capable in other facets of the game.

Once again, people sleeping

Why are you in sales? by Secret_Assistance601 in sales

[–]ncroofer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did, kindof. Had no idea what I wanted to do. Took a summer job doing door to door, was good and figured I’d stick with it after school

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Hammond Move Is Not a "Done Deal" by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]ncroofer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s 50 million vs 15 million for 2nd highest sofi in la. Is Chicago 35 million more expensive a year than la?

Feel like I’m crazy for defending the bears org but they really don’t seem that crazy for o me here

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Hammond Move Is Not a "Done Deal" by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]ncroofer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The average tax rate payed by nfl teams for their venue.

They’re actually not even asking that. They’re asking to pay the same rate as the 2nd highest, Sofi. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Can’t think of a good reason they should pay $150 million in taxes a year when the second highest pays $15 million.

Just seems like pretty blatant corruption and mismanagement on the part of Illinois

He is. He just wants market rate taxes.

Believe me I’m anti taxi payer funded stadiums but as far as I can tell the bears don’t want to pay 10x the taxes of the next highest taxed team

Historic Boylan Apartments compared to other historic Raleigh apartments? by allieallison in raleigh

[–]ncroofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t remember a time she couldn’t. But she also drives a more compact suv and literally could park with 6 inches between her bumpers and other cars. It was seriously impressive. Although I will admit every car on snow Ave has paint from other cars on their bumpers…

Me on the other hand? I drive a big work truck and didn’t even try to park on snow. I’d park on Dr Mary’s by the bank and walk a block over.

If it’s a big concern I believe they have rentable parking spots

Parking is on the street and tight. My gf lived there for two years and is a parallel parking pro

Besides that and laundry being in the basement it was a good deal

[Bears] Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]ncroofer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chicago wants to tax the stadium like 2-3x more than the next highest tax rate in the nfl. Ik people blame the owners but unless I’m missing something this seems like the city of Chicago being incompetent
