Expense is what it is, I spent a fortune on renovations so you get used to paying triple. Now with 1000ās needing work, that will definitely extend the problem though to your point.
Most fun part is everyone that drove off that island expected to be back this week. Now you have months of no power, no access, no way to start clean up, houses/restaurants still stocked with food, etc. The bridge issue turns it from a āman thatās going to suckā problem to an āoh shit, that is going to be a major issue that is going to be hard to recover fromā problem.
We were talking earlier because weāll buy again (had a trip in 3 weeks to look ant houses) and I donāt even have a concept of what you would do at the moment. Our place would have been closed up assuming no breach, but what does that look like after so much time of no utilities and nobody getting into it to check on it.
