$395 later, we have a working dishwasher again. Yay.

(When the rent is too $!$!! high, so is everything else. The average for a one-BR 649 sq’ apartment is $3007 here.)

I’m so glad it works now! And also ouch and yep. (I assume you’ve read about RealPage, the algorithmic rent-price-fixer? I want all the entities and methods for price-fixing or price-tweaking [to figure out how desperate people are either in the aggregate or individually, figure out if they have any options, and if they’re desperate and don’t have options, raise the price drastically] to be removed with extreme vigor. No cell phone data harvesting to increase the price of children’s tylenol if it’s 2am and this is the only pharmacy within half an hour and you’ve been searching on your phone “how high is too high of a fever for a five year old.” No “if we all work together, we can raise rent prices across the board and other people will pay” a la RealPage. No gig-worker-payment-decreasing algorithms a la Instacart or Uber. No “drive the local stores out of business and then consolidate stores because when people *have* to take an hour-long bus ride to get food because it’s the closest option, they will” grocery store chain garbage.)

Yay! Less than buying a new one, and hoping it lasts a good long while. And that RealPage info is crazy scary. The greed has got to stop.

So glad the dishwasher is working again!
And it did not take multiple dishwasher visits to resolve it.
