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.

Reply to Rent Hike by sbenzing100
$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).

Walmart has Sealy "Bed in a Box" for $499.00. I have one and it's a tremendous mattress. Very comfortable. And you can fit it in a compact car.

Could be because it was killing a lot of birds. Have you ever been under a windmill before? It's a bird killing field. If you kill a bald eagle you go to jail for 10 years, but Windmills wipe them out left and right.

Reply to So...Worcester's school superintendent is actually a white lady who pretended to be Latinx...? by [deleted]
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.

LOL. Yup. And no more parking spaces. Those can be utilized to plant a tree or make it a green space.

$1500 for a 1 bedroom? Damn. This is why people are living, quite happily, in vans nowadays.

It would be nice if our leaders would address all the energy problems we have in this country instead of just telling us to go buy an electric car.
