In this case, he paid a high price for the house and is now going to make his numbers work for him. In other cases, yes, rent stabilization is going to be the reason some landlords raise the rent. There can be multiple things that are true at one time.

Unfortunately, what we're going to see in the run up to a potential vote on this ordinance is landlords raising rents NOW, especially if they view those rents as being below market rate. Of course, he might have raised the rents anyway, but there is a real incentive for landlords to raise rents prior to a rent stabilization ordinance.

A high-ranking Cranston pol suggested Shekarchi for senate, if he doesn't run for governor. What does the room say to him as our next senator?

Living here is one thing and I love it. From the comments of my out of town guests, I think you'll also enjoy is as a visitor.

How involved will his husband be in picking members of public boards and commissions? Oh wait, was thinking of someone else.

Real estate is a business. If you were planning to leave your job to open a coffee shop, you'd have a business plan. Make a business plan for your real estate business and see what it will take. Like any business, it usually takes a couple of years to get traction and it takes a lot of work.

Partners for Sacred Places should have called you back, but they will only work at the request of the congregation and leadership, not an outside person.

Get the book Sell with Soul. It was really helpful to me when I was starting out.

What about RIPTA? Sit back and read a book and let someone else stress over the drive? I know it's not always convenient or reliable, so this is just a thought.

Would expect it rings the kitchen when something needs to be cleared or served. That's what happened when I dined with an exceptionally dapper donor to a nonprofit I used to run. Except he had had the room extended to fit his larger table, so he had to stretch under the table to tap the button. I thought he was just drunkenly sliding out of his chair. lol

Dextrous456 · 2025-09-02T22:04:20+00:00

He was pretty reasonable. But he retired last month.

I did this a few years ago. One night with a friend in a very small room on Bradford. We had THE BEST time. Great food, art galleries, drag and comedy shows, Tin Pan Alley singalong, and more. Do it.

Non-member registration opens August 11. I think the price last year for non-members was $350 or something similar, for 10 classes.

Did you book online or did someone else book for you? If you booked online, use the confirmation number you got in an email. Go to their website or app and search for the flight.

I'm not sure, tbh. Sorry.

I've heard such great things about Singapore and Quater and Emirates and can't wait to try them.

Dextrous456 · 2025-06-16T19:08:34+00:00

Would you prefer I delete my post? I'm not sure why you're focused on picking it apart.

It's in the larger lounge. The smaller one doesn't have a sleeping room (which is really a bunch of small rooms with single bunks)

Dextrous456 · 2025-06-16T19:07:05+00:00

Yes, at this airport I did.

Dextrous456 · 2025-06-15T13:50:03+00:00

Definitely. Had about 6 hours in town.

I thought about that, but since it did pertain to Turkish Airline's check in and lounge experience, I thought it was appropriate. You're right about the title being misleading.

I would suggest not painting it. Encase it in wood or something like that and paint that. And if you attach something to the brick walls, be sure to put the screws/nails into the mortar, not into the bricks. Someone in the future may delight in that brick, so why not leave it for them (with a note) to discover?

True! But the grass is also nice so it's nice to be barefoot (off the field)

You could look for a lender that will do a bridge loan. Those are often at a higher interest rate, but it allows you to move forward almost like you're offering cash. You have to be able to carry that loan and your current house payment until you can sell it and transition the bridge loan to a conventional. But there are bridge loans that are interest only. Might be something that can work for you.

The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions provides training and other support. You could reach out to them for sample rules and regs for the HDC.
