With the current administration's past, current, and future economic policies, inflation will probably continue to rise unabated. By 2025 you'll see $3K average rates for a studio or 1 bedroom. Until we can somehow stop the government from printing money and extending the national debt, housing, food, and energy will continue to eat everyone's paychecks.

Unfortunately, no. This is a statewide Massachusetts issue. You can't even really move out to Western Mass and find anything affordable any more. It's just awful all the way around.

I would shift your search to Northern Rhode Island. It's not too far from Medway and you've a better chance at finding something affordable.

$450 in two years sounds about right. Our fearless leaders have pumped so much money into the economy in the last 3 years that it's disgusting. Many cities and towns are STILL trying to figure out what to do with all the COVID money they got and didn't really need. Now the Guv is paying off student loans. Minimum wage is now $15.00 and they are pushing to raise it again to over $20....THEN these same fearless leaders sit around and wonder why inflation is so high! They caused it with these policies and their solution is more of the same policies! LOL. Prepare for $3000/month rents because it's coming soon.

Try Enchanted Fireside in Worcester. I haven't bought from them but they have serviced my stoves and were pretty good.

One of those $5000+ pellet stoves from QuadraFire or Harman can probably last you about 20+ years. One of the Home Depot/Lowe's $1500 stoves will probably last a lot less, require more frequent repairs, and is probably unsightly (Just a rectangular box type unit).

This is woke run amok. Apparently folks just assumed she was Latino, including the NAACP, and they just ran with it. They profiled her based on looks and name.

Just the other day, noted Black Panther Angela Davis discovered her ancestors came over on the Mayflower. So looks and skin color means nothing.

Any they will put a lien on your home so you cannot sell your house without transferring the lease to the new owners or buying the lease out.

Maybe it's not a scam per se, but it's a scam in that these sales folks try to prey on elderly and uninformed. Folks are blinded by the notion of "free" solar panels and then end up with a bill for $80,000 when they go to sell their home.

Milford Hospital has free parking and I have found the care to be a lot better as well.

One time I was at the UMASS ER on a Saturday night and there were fights in the waiting room, multiple people overdosing, and just didn't feel at all safe at all. Left and went to Milford Hospital - there was a much shorter wait and the waiting room was peaceful. No fights! And of course free parking.

"Things Remembered"....I haven't seen one or thought about one in a long time, but according to their website they are still open in Solomon Pond and Burlington. I haven't been there in years!
