Have you ever been in a love triangle? Today on the show, Christine revealed that a rather large percentage of Americans have claimed that they have, Fish and Christine included. But, not together, and Christine s love triangle was more like some sort of weird love square or pentagram or something. We all shared our love triangles and learned why Christine s ended up being so messy. Also on the show, we helped a member of the Click of Six write a love letter to his sweetie for Valentine s Day, we paid tribute to Saved by the Bell star, Dustin Diamond, and Christine started to get a little hot and bothered by the end of the show. All of that and much more on today s show!
Rental Prices Rose During Pandemic In Grand Rapids
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, many medium and large sized metropolitan areas in the United States saw a dip in rental prices as people left crowded cities for smaller towns. However, Grand Rapids and it s metro area saw just the opposite, an increase in rental pricing.
Since January of 2020, average rental prices have grown an estimated 3.8% year to year in Grand Rapids. According to a study by Apartment List, that sets rental prices to about:
Median One-Bedroom Rent: $868
Median Two-Bedroom Rent: $1,110
Those prices are pretty average compared to similarly sized cities, but the increase of 3.8% is well above the national average, which was actually a decrease of 1.5% in rental prices in 2020.
26 New COVID-19 Outbreaks Reported In Michigan Schools This Week
The new outbreaks are mostly in elementary schools and high schools, but some pre-schools, junior highs, middle schools, and administrative buildings are also reporting minor outbreaks.
The 70 ongoing outbreaks encompass recent outbreaks as well as some dating all the way back to September of 2020. Even though that number is relatively high, it is far from the peak of 271 schools and administrative buildings with outbreaks that we saw in late November, 2020.
The slight uptick in outbreaks this week is largely due to schools returning to in-person learning as well as schools coming back from winter vacations.
