Getting? Hasn't it always been expensive? I've never been but I've always heard the rumors of $6 a gallon Milk and $4 gasoline since at least the early 90s.Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

@TEXASBGE2018 your right it’s always been expensive here . I got a friend wanting to purchase a home here. The prices are so ridiculously high he can’t afford anything. Try and google the average price of a home and or townhouse here you’ll be in shock at the prIces.Ewa Beach, Hawaii
