It was evident from the beginning that American’s unforgiving workplace and healthcare cultures would place the burden of the pandemic on ordinary workers’ shoulders.

Free market is always the best long-term plan, but our "immediate gratification" culture won't allow the time necessary for it to work itself out.

This includes their internal policies, the tools they provide, even the general culture/atmosphere. 

You have a house that's kind of 60's modern/contemporary, so don't add Craftsman or Colonial features to it.

I like to use examples - I'm eyeing a bank owned property right now that is rural but easy access off a main road, near wineries and tasting rooms, zoning is ideal, along a creek, sub-dividable, flat, and even has some really neat cultural artifacts (that I only know about because of local knowledge).

You will get a feel for the personality, culture, fit, etc.

As for Kitchens, I stay pretty simple with contemporary dark wood finish or White cabinetry.

Every market is different, the laws, the culture, the tax structure, etc. 

The TDC and Chamber have done a fantastic job changing the culture here and focusing more on families. 

As I do not know if it is truly a cultural misfit with that firm or an isolated incident with that particular PM sales agent or simply normal business practice for this particular sub-market, the issue was elevated to the owner of the firm.
