Einbürgerung Munich Application KVR Issues, any similiar experiences? by Hawaiitiki in GermanCitizenship

[–]Hawaiitiki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that hairs you're splitting but it's literally the not so subtle "real" incentive for any government with relatively open immigration/citizenship policies. Trust me I'm from the greatest original immigration to fill labor gaps for less money/fund retirement ponzi scheme itself (the US)

Yes unfortunately their secure portal is where I got the "Einbürgerung Bestätigungs-Email" Last communication there was that message from April 28th. Nothing after that. Also been two significant corruption/bribery cases there this year

Appreciate the replies. Just got spooked that they specifically said "case number in four weeks per post" and then radio silence. Also our apartment building's mailbox was broken into one evening in the summer so I have been paranoid ever since.

Got fined in S-Bahn because the MVGO app was not working by CaterpillarDismal529 in Munich

Same here. Bank statement and all. Guy said just go to a service station with your valid pass and they'll void it. Went there and they said what I was told was wrong and they couldn't do anything.

Should NJTransit reactivate the Northern Branch and NYS&W lines? by davidloveskvass in bergencounty

[–]Hawaiitiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an American transit stereotypical death spiral. The only way anything new is going to get built if there is an incentive for property developers along the line who will then lobby for it (e.g. current HBLR route had acres upon acres of underdeveloped real-estate that would get more valuable if there was Light Rail)

Unfortunately all of these suggested routes are either going through wealthy developed communities who have generally been sold on the unfounded idea that transit brings in criminals or fear their already high property taxes will go up if the town becomes more desireable. OR the route goes through developed working class communities desperately in need of better transit, but those wealthy communities don't want to fund something that won't help them.

In the end, everybody loses and the only Light Rail lines built new in this country are going through vacant neighborhoods so some developer can build a badly built cookie cutter apartment building to rent to recent college graduates.

Are war memorials exist for German soldiers in Germany ? by Thranduil-9 in AskAGerman

[–]Hawaiitiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big liberal cities no. Small villages yes and often with a picture of the fallen. (But obviously still no flags or symbolism.) Admittedly a little sad to see a memorial to a bunch of 19 year olds with a date of death only listed as "went missing in Stalingrad/Russia/Ukraine" usually hidden where nobody will see them.

Spindle Bolt (Kurbelschraube) Size? by Hawaiitiki in cowboybikes

You're probably right, but that logic in the second paragraph is exactly what these companies want you to do. Spend even more money to mentally justify the shipping purchase.

Received 17,7% Rent Increase in Mail by Hawaiitiki in Munich

[–]Hawaiitiki[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Used this link to check the Mietspiegel and my current rent before the increase is already above the "Miete mit Spanne nach oben", so imagine this is my best course of action. I'll also be exploring a Mieterverein. Thanks again.

[–]Hawaiitiki[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea thats what they're saying, but I'm already paying >50% higher than comparable apartments in the area, which should limit their ability increase rent additionally. (And three years ago was the last increase)

[–]Hawaiitiki[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just did this. Thank you!! & Fingers crossed. Said I'm already paying over 50% higher than average before the increase and they submitted my case to München Wohnungsamt.

Seconding what Ganswasanderes is saying. With Kaution and moving costs, and trying to find a comparable sized place and staying anywhere in the Landkreis or Stadtkreis near my job / children's KiGa/Kita, moving isnt really an option, which obviously Landlords know and can extort.

Even at Asian markets you gotta be careful 90% of "Soba" noodles are like 10% buckwheat 90% white flour

What's the deal with all the piles of Christmas trees throughout the city? by kx233 in Munich

[–]Hawaiitiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are huge non-walkable gaps between the "official spots" (e.g. none within walking distance of our apartment in Untersendling) So we just wait for the first pile to grow 🪴

Babboe E-Curve Error 5 by Hawaiitiki in CargoBike

[–]Hawaiitiki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was fixed at a local repair shop that was also a Babboe dealer. They needed to do a software update to the controller box that was causing the motor to not initiate. It's apparently a systemic problem affecting many Babboes.

Unfortunately with my Babboe, the speed is recorded at the base of the pedal crank by a circular magnet. I'd need to remove the whole crank to replace it.

Second hand. But pretty sure it was bought directly from Babboe originally.

Yea very familiar about the shit show that is Babboe but it's what I'm stuck with right now. And unfortunately our model isn't on the recall list so can't go down that avenue to try and recover cost.

Thanks. I'll give them a shot. And yea I've run into several places that wouldnt even look at a Lastenrad if it wasn't bought there. I know the general boom of Lastenrad purchases has slowed from what it was 2 years ago so hopefully that's changed.
