I paid 1500 for 2 rooms last year and I’m in the burbs. You might find cheaper out there but it’s not a crazy high rate

Jumping on to say that I paid $800 for my basement (one big room) in the ‘burbs last year through the contractor we were already using for a remodel. $950 in Boston proper doesn’t sound too far off.

Economy of scale only works to a point.

Two rooms for $1500 doesn’t in any way mean it’s going to cost $750 for one room.

Hey good thing you’re here, some people have to wait two whole weeks into their micro 101 class before they learn that. I hear both supply and demand can also be a factor in price does that match your studies as well?

It didn’t hurt but I was taught when someone is being a dick don’t let it slide or they’ll go on and keeping being a dick to the next one and the one after that.

Did you think that OP or I genuinely didn’t get that price drops when you buy in bulk, like items in a grocery store? That’s common knowledge and it’s rude to imply that someone doesn’t know something that is common knowledge. That’s just be being a dick

Were you excited to correct someone in an area that made you feel intellectual? That’s understandable but wasn’t really warranted in this example and still would just be being a dick.

Is there a third option? I don’t see what purpose your comment had. I think you’re just being a dick
