Here's what I don't get. You knew we were not union when you accepted the job yet you came here anyway.
Ya'll remind me of city folk who move to the country for the amenities, then complain that the farm next to you smells of manure and has horse flies. Or maybe it's people who move in next to an airport then complain about the jet noise.
But we can't get enough space in the city, so we need to move to the country. It's only fair that they make it livable for me.
So now the dairyman gets too much grief from the new neighbors who have gotten onto the city council, and he sells his land to developers, who put in multifamily housing. Now you're back to the crowded city that you tried to escape.
I guess on a good note you've got your starbucks with it's line out to door to get your grande mocha frappuccino to sip while waiting in traffic, or a Chipotle and Walmart to complain to corporate when things aren't as you want them, instead of a local greasy spoon cafe with the line out the door and mom and pop A&P.

If you want that city life and all you can afford while trying to build equity is a home in the country, buy that home and learn how the other side lives while you build equity and increase your income and experience which will allow you to afford to move into the yuppy millennial heaven of the city. Pay your mortgage on the double wide until you can sell it for the next kid who is looking for an affordable place to live, and move on instead of making me deal with the congestion, a new city council who is beholden to people in a far off land and home owners association fees.

Back to the topic, 5-day bidding window? I voted yes given I like to make plans earlier for the following month. It wasn’t a passionate, strong yes though. Sometimes it can get busy on a 4-day with minimum rest and if you are trying to go through the bid package it takes time. Definitely some pros and cons either way.
