The usual pattern is that Tommy trolls with some "dig" at someone. 
Naturally, the options are to simply ignore, or to fire back.

This "housing" based troll from Tommy is an old retread.  He's a 
longtime resident in an inexpensive suburbia area, so its not hard to 
have a decently sized place due to its low $/sqft, so it becomes his 
basis to claim he's living in a Disneyland paradise and no one else can 
come close.

Of course there's many other metrics besides cost per square foot of 
housing, case in point:

"A new study by WalletHub has found that New Jersey is the 3rd happiest 
state in the country.

The study compared the 50 states using factors such as mental health, 
divorce rates, and finances.

Hawaii ranked first in the study, followed by Maryland. Utah came in 
fourth, while Delaware rounded out the top 5. Louisiana ranked last."

Of course, to find where Indiana ranked, go find the original:

<https://wallethub.com/edu/happiest-states/6959>

And we see that Indiana is way down in 36th place, with a score of 
45.92.  That's a ~15 point deficit vs a Top 5 for happiness, which also 
serves to help explain Tommy's trolls' underlying jealousy of others.
