I've always wanted to go down that away because then you are still closer to 75 and the rest of the country. Or out west in the jackson/Manchester area. The further north you go then the more congested it will be. The other variable is proximity to the haus frau's college buddies who all live in South Lyon area. So, expect compromise aplenty to fit that condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually be a plus since it would offer "walk to tacos" option that is just below the current must haves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to tough out a lot of that so long as movies with subtitles are possible within half an hour (Ann Arbor or Royal Oak). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a lake ideally. Super Ideally close enough to walk to ice cream at night. Uber ideally, with enough land where I don't see my neighbor. Extra uber ideally, with guaranteed no Trumpies within the vicinity. My WFH dream would be SW MI... a lot of lakes, affordable, easy access to Detroit or Chicago, etc. But yeah, that's easier said that done lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally found it... https://bluevirginia.us/2022/02/republicans-rode-a-silver-surge-to-victory-in-va-last-year-differential-turnout-persuasion-crt-etc-more-about-juicing-turnout-than-winning-over-voters Quote Republicans rode a ‘silver surge’ to victory in VA last year. Senior turnout surged to unprecedented levels – somewhat shockingly, more voters over the age of 75 voted in the 2021 election than have in any VA election other than 2020….This chart shows the percent increase in total ballots cast in VA between 2017 and 2021 by age group. There is nothing here that suggests that parents of school children were driven out to the polls by closures, masks, vaccines, etc. Seniors were mobilized though.” – Tom Bonier Edited February 23, 2022 by CMRivdogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically customer payments are taking weeks to arrive causing delinquencies. We are trying to push customers to use electronic methods which most do. The issue isn't even traveling across the country. They arrive at the local sort facility and sit there before they are delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
