Well for me it's the first time in 2 years since we have only been here that long so it was pretty quick. I generally agree with you but you could have said it like a "gentle warrior." Words matter.

That being said, $300 this year, ???? next year, ???? the year after that. Then it would be "only" 4 times in 15 years. No one knows now that the ball started rolling and they taste the blood! Also, to some folks $300 is a lot more than it is to others. Yea, Yea I know what's coming next ..... "if they can't afford $300 they shouldn't have moved in here." Peoples situations change all the time. In the end we just have to suck it up. It is what it is.
