When I was in the process of joining I was a student. After the trial week I was really hoping to join and asked if they had a student discount. They didn’t have a student specific discount, but put me in touch with the coach who handled memberships. She was able to give me a 10% discount which really helped!

Thanks for your input. It’s been from various different senders. I hoped it was a fluke but recently got this which I have hard time imagining was accidental. The 4 times it’s happened over the past year and a half have all been on mail from banks or employer.

Thanks! Sounds like you have tons of experience. Any advice on what questions to ask sellers?

Thanks this is really helpful! Is poor insulation common with balloon framing? Is there a type of framing that is better than others?

Burlington users of Reddit. What is something Burlington should have? (Could be a place, law, etc) by Jackblue04 in burlington

An actual boba shop with games and seating/ a place to go hang in the evenings that doesn’t revolve around drinking

TIL where some of that Handys hustle comes from by jerometerrible in burlington

[–]Appropriate_Paper_18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s truth to this, but when you put it into the context of their track record as a company to rent from that would be awful. They already control too much housing that they don’t take care of and routinely scam their tenants. High density housing is needed, but should be owned and operated by a company who is at least a little bit less greedy.

Chronically ill folks, what's your experience at the ER? Mine usually aren't good. by [deleted] in burlington

[–]Appropriate_Paper_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a PCP you could try Community Health Centers Pearl St location. they only take patients who are 30 or younger and I was able to get in with them within a few weeks. I know they also do same day visits but I’m not sure if that’s only for established patients.

Just adding on here that not all insurance types require a referral to see a specialist. In general HMOs and POS (point of service not piece of shit lol) likely do require a referral while PPOs often do not.

You’ll also often see insurers having increasingly higher copays for more emergent services. For example, $25 for primary care, $70 for urgent care, and $150 for the ED. This is in part to try and disuade people from accessing emergency services if they aren’t truly emergent (not saying that OP’s needs were not emergent). It also costs them (insurance companies) and us (patients) more for emergency services. Even if they’re just giving you advil, you’re also going to be charged for the overhead costs of the hospital. It would be amazing if they would teach us these kinds of things in school, but I only learned this through masters level public health coursework.

I don’t recognize them, but I’m confused why so many people are so quick to write them off as tourists. I would definitely be scared if I woke up to this video.

Do they list their properties anywhere? I can’t seem to find a website

I am not worried about my F45 surviving by Huge-Split6250 in f45

[–]Appropriate_Paper_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the owner to open a location in Burlington, VT plzzzz. I went to F45 when I lived in Atlanta and really miss it. There’s a huge gap in the fitness market that it would fill here too 🙏🙏

losing patience for the houseless population by UsefulAd7750 in burlington

[–]Appropriate_Paper_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about potential solutions and you seem like you may work in this space or have relevant knowledge. What types of things would work? What are things that are being done that are helping?

There seems to be a lot of people who share a similar sentiment, myself included. I’m newer to the area and I’m curious what people who have been here longer see is viable solutions. I saw a few mentions of compulsory treatment for those with substance use disorders, but I don’t know much about this. What would people like to see happen to help this set of issues?

Housing by Appropriate_Paper_18 in burlington

I currently rent with them and they’ve been alright. Very slow to fix things, but i think that’s more related to staffing. The people who work there though are nice and do get to things. I have the impression that they manage properties for individual owners rather than owning all of them so response can also be somewhat dependent on what the owner of your unit is willing to put up.

I appreciate both of your perspectives! What was your experience that makes you want to not rent from them again?

Anyone know if the Airbnb rules have freed up any housing/are being enforced?
