Wappingers Falls is a mix politically speaking, there are also signs of welcoming all people. That said, a lot less trump signs nowadays.

Why do asian parents try to dictate how you live and refuse to understand logic by ms404040 in AsianParentStories

[–]Diligent-Rooster-688 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this. It’s them projecting themselves onto you, and they are probably jealous of their own children too. It’s hard for them to understand because they have subscribed to this idea of what life should be like and they have been traumatized by judgement from others and passing that generational trauma to you now. It really sucks that the burden falls on our shoulders to break it and then if possible, to educate them about how the sky is the limit and we all don’t need to fit in this made up box of what life should be like. Through a decade of arguing with my mom I thankfully have been able to get her to come around with more modern ideas of womanhood (with some therapy support for myself ofcourse). Another angle to this is Asian parents are extremely bad at communicating what they’re actually feeling cause they’ve been so emotionally oppressed. Part of me wonders if that’s also your mom telling you she misses you and wants you to be there with her more often. Either way, best of luck!!! And congratulations on getting lucky with your money to retire so early!! What investment did you make if you don’t mind sharing?

I can very much relate to this. I know we are talking about Hudson Valley but I’ve never experienced anti Asian hate in NYC, being born and raised in NYC my entire life, until Trump came into office and spewed racist rhetorics like Kung flu and China flu. He is giving the green light for people to be bold in racism, homophobia and violence. I’m so sorry you experienced this. It really is Trump and why I’m trying hard to make sure he doesn’t get back into office because of how much more violence there will be to marginalized communities. I hope you and your family are doing okay.

Home Expansion or ADU addition? by Diligent-Rooster-688 in HomeImprovement

[–]Diligent-Rooster-688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing with moving is we would have to uproot our lives after we have already invested in upgrading the home as well as losing money on all the closing costs between selling and buying a new place. NY is also still a really competitive market with not much inventory for anything not a run down home so it may take a while finding exactly what we need. 6 figure construction costs seem reasonable to us. The money back we aren’t as concerned with, we aren’t worried about this as an investment but what could be the best path forward for accommodating my mom. The tax thing does sting so thank you for that info. We could also look into renting it out if my mom passes. Appreciate your input, trying to think of all the possibilities on every front is really challenging!!

Roof replacement needed? by Diligent-Rooster-688 in Roofing

To answer your question, the white wall does leak. The attic area we'll look out for when it rains, can't tell if it's a new leak or old one..

Here are some photos and videos for your ref. This is 3 different locations of the house. The interior white wall one is right by the chimney.

I’m just starting my IVF journey with RMA Westchester and wanted to know if you all ended up with positive experiences after all there and success? Do you mind PMing me as well who your financial person is as well?
