    Ha! Buddy of mine who lives around those parts: “Great if you are a rich work from homer who can pay at least 3k for rent and use the community Uber discount to go grocery shopping since there is no grocery shop in there”

      who can pay at least 3k for rent

      So you are saying this type of development is so sought after that they are able to set rent at higher rates than the surrounding “parts” and still get enough tenants despite the “inconvenience”?

      Also yeah according to the article, the nearby amenities include a grocery store. It’s not an apartment complex, it’s a walkable town.
