Is the site down or just on my end?

Works for me

me too.

kept going too high, though, but got 2 of 3.

I went too high too. I can’t tell if I got a good deal or if I’m just conditioned to expect wild prices.

yeah, coming from us west coast cities these prices are on the cheap side. A couple were so good I'd assume they were rent scams if I saw them in portland or SF (location depending). Which really drives home how bad it is out here, so like damn, mission accomplished...

Are you calibrating to local wages though? So that it's relatively high. Wages in SF are higher than Dublin for sure.

Yeah, I'm aware of the difference. I'm just comparing to my own experience, not looking to engage in a round of poverty olympics.

Also the euro is worth more than any dollar right now

Yeah was some weird network issue, working now

Man I nailed that. Living in high CoL places has seemingly permanently warped my sense of value in this world.
