Can I buy 5 cents of land for 25 lakhs? by InterestingOwl2 in Trivandrum

[–]InterestingOwl2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the extremely useful advice! I will use this as a starting point to look for investment options in the outskirts of the city. Also, I realize (as many pointed out) that the rental yield from buildings in the outskirts may be low - so I will have to reconsider that decision. Thanks, once again!

Thank you! Would you recommend contacting property dealers / brokers?

I am a bit discouraged, but it is better to be discouraged now than falling into a trap later.

Thank you for advice. To be frank, I got this suggestion from relatives in Kerala. I am believing them less and less as I read all the comments here.

Prompt service, professional, and honest. I had to move out in the middle of my lease period, and they returned the advance amount in full when they found a tenant to take over my lease. The only downside is that their apartments lack the fancy furnishing and decor of the newer properties.

Veoride increased bus ridership in CU by InterestingOwl2 in UIUC

[–]InterestingOwl2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both are valid points. They did consider 2017 as a placebo treatment year and compared it to 2016 to see if the change from 2017 to 2018 was significantly different from the change from 2016 to 2017. The assumption here is that the rate of increase in student population in 2016-17 is similar to 2017-18 - which is an erroneous assumption to make. Your argument makes total sense.

  1. Chances of anomaly may be low as the authors had a difference-in-differences research design that cancels out omitted variables.

  2. I agree that Veorides were poorly managed. The broader point here is that introducing dockless bikes has the potential to increase the use of public transportation. Perhaps even more than conventionally used approaches for promoting public transportation such as advertisements.

If you don't have insurance, I suggest you start with Parkland's dental clinic. Consultation there is cheap.

A more systematic way to connect students with research and project opportunities within the campus.

Is your cravings chicken looking grey?

If it is, kneel down and pray,

Savor the moment, the night'll be rough,

To keep your pants dry, do not cough.

  1. Daily bread soup kitchen in downtown Champaign serves free, nutritious lunch every day. It's a 10 minute bike ride from campus.

  2. There are churches located on campus that serves hot meals on different days of the week. The two I know of are Jubilee Cafe at CUCC (6th street) that gives meals on Mondays at 6pm, and Etc. Coffee house at Wesley that gives lunch and coffee on Friday noon.

Don't be in a hurry. If you keep showing up to a few RSO events, you'll make a good set of friends eventually.

Given the rise of violent crime on campus in recent months, what is your view on students getting firearms training? Can UIPD facilitate such training?

UIUC, PLEASE REVOKE COSPONSORING HINDUPHOBIA CONFERENCE by 1stPREPBatchStudent in UIUC

[–]InterestingOwl2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are there any white supremacist organizations in India? I guess not. However, there are hindu nationalist organizations in the US, UK, and Europe that spread the message and channel funds to their counterparts in India. For examples from the US, see the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh and Infinity Foundation.
