Maybe Tupper will see a big upgrade with all the Development Cost Levies from the surrounding redevelopments.

I went to DT as well in early 2010's, but no major stabbings. I think seeing DD's in every grade was just a way of life growing up. Always going to have good and bad apples. There were a few DT grads that have died from gang violence though.

There was a program for teen moms at the time, don't know if it's still there. But yeah, people used to comment all time about the mom/baby grad photos in my yearbooks.

Hopefully you can get a price adjustment if your order has not been shipped yet.

I’ll be stuck in a 1 bed plus den for the rest of my life. I’ll take it if it means I’m not paying 60% of my income on a fucking mortgage though. Shit’s fucked.

That was my primary motivation to get out of our apartment and into a house instead. Ironically, the place that we ended up with has a garage, but the garage doesn't have the space that I'd need to be able to work on my own cars...  | |

I like how the prices of places have gone up about 15-20x in the last 30 years but real estate agent commissions have stayed the same percentage.
Whole years salary at a good fucking job selling or just repping a buyer for 2 houses. Kind of ridiculous?

Even if my income doubled we aren’t affording a 1.6 million dollar house, so what’s the point?
My mortgage would go from $1500 a month to 6k a month to live in a house. That’s a lot of vacations, car parts, dinners, and retirements.

I also don't get why realtors are entitled to earn that 2.5% after 100k... it's not like they require that much more work to sell say a 500k home vs a TH at 1 mil nowadays?
Even with the extra staging required, it seems crazy for them to have 30-50k EXTRA.

few of my hs teachers were tupper grads and said it used to fare better (in the 2000s a student was beaten to death, the suspect was from my school)
now i work in the area and see a fair number in tech, medicine etc.
wouldn't be surprised if it's a pretty decent school now
