Then, we meet a renter who dreams of buying in town but feels priced out, and hear from Councilor-at-Large and Deputy Mayor <strong>Susan Shin Andersen</strong> on what the township is doing to address affordability.</p><p><br></p><p>In our <strong>Ask Your Agent</strong> series with <strong>Karin Diana of Compass</strong>, we uncover the hidden costs of homeownership. At the same time, our <strong>Montclair grocery showdown</strong>—Kings vs. ACME vs. Whole Foods—reveals a surprising winner. Plus, a rooftop visit to <a href=\"https://themchotel.com/food-drink/thesplendidrooftop/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Splendid</strong></a> at the MC Hotel, local election updates, and <em>One Big Thing</em> to end the week.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Our Sponsors</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.twocents.io/?utm_source=partner_montclairpod&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=eatfood\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twocents</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.compass.com/agents/karin-diana/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Karin Diana of Compass Montclair</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources and Links</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/susanformontclair/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Deputy Mayor Susan Shin Andersen on Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://seedartists.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SeedArtists</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DOONHljjhQz/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Our IG Post</a> on The Cost of Living in Montclair</li></ul>","author_name":"Montclair Pod LLC"}
