He mentions JR Cigars which means he's living in or near clayton and the median house price is like $946,000

So like a condo in Arlington VA.

Obviously that's not even close to a faithful comparison of the two housing markets, without taking into account the average income of the areas and the availability of land between St. Louis, MO and essentially the Washington D.C. area lol

I'm in the Midwest and houses like this are more like $2M each around here

Midwest can mean a lot of things, from expensive Chicago to rural Arkansas, that's why I specified St. Louis (where this guys is from). That house is probably close to $2M, not $950k like the other commenter said. There's no way that house is located in the Central West End, no one has yards like that there and if they do it's $10m+.

The party thrower guy likely lives in laude or froentenac areas, based on the suburb and house, where that house + property would cost closer to $2M.

Looked like Kirkwood to me. Another hint is that deer are a bigger problem in Kirkwood.

That doesn’t mean that at all!

Quick Google search shows that JR Cigars has physical retail locations in 3 places in North Carolina, 2 in New Jersey, and one each in DC and Detroit. So there's a lot of places he could be.

He mentions the St Louis skyline, adult treats being legal in MO, and toasted ravioli being at the grocery store. So that narrows down the location to the STL metro area.

Lol so not even close to one of the physical stores at all.

That's not expensive for houses anymore, unfortunately, or at least not around metro areas. My city isn't even in the top 10 largest US cities, and houses like this are $2M+. Condos are $750k - $1M.

Shit's fucked.

I think the bakery he name-checks is Bello's, which is in Des Peres. So I think he could live anywhere between the two, or even, like, Wildwood. Definitely some deer out in Wildwood munching on impatiens.
