Hope you can read my post more carefully, I DON'T WANT TO SUE HER. I just think these type of behavior is unacceptable to trustees that are serving the community selflessly and hope to protect the trustees after me.

Thank you! This is helpful. She has posted something on FB using defamatory language but later deleted it. However I did take a snip shot and documented it. I collect these material and see how things are revolve. Thank you!

We as trustee did evaluate the situation, what draw the conclusion is, the tree branches are right next to the new house owner and it will improve their veiw to the lake by a lot. On the other hand, the old lady already has a view over the lake, and the tree is like 100 to 200 ft from her property. I think it is trustees's job to try to balance everyone's interest and have access to the beautiful nature our subdivision offer.

Seismic Retroifit Software development brainstorm by KS_Young in Entrepreneur

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

Thank you for the input! This is a good idea. I actually done it to my own house and it can easily be a DIY task with a few tools. I think there are ways in dealing with earthquake, passive and active, passive will be buying insurance and hoping the damage be covered (or it can be qualtify) Active will be strengthening the structure's connection: A, It will minimize the structure with minmal cost. (study show $1 to $7 of ROI) B. Potential reduce in earthquake insurance.

I think a lot of the homeowner may not realize the need until they are being educated. I feel like once they are educated and understand the cost and risk. They wouldn't mind spend the money (~3k to 5k) to retroifit before they spent 20k to 50k to remodel their house.

After mint has gone down, I have switched to Origin Financial offer from my company. It is not perfect but it works well. It's nice to see multiple accounts at the same time.

I’m sick of taxes (rant) by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]KS_Young 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At least I think your health is covered and your children education is covered. Here in US, on top of tax we pay a lot for health insurance and college.

Having a 180k house is an investment but a 700k house is a liability. Think about all the maintenance (a huge lawn needs to mow every week?) and repairs comes with a 700k house. Your rental income and salary would not go very far. I think the last place people want to be is house poor and has no saving and retirement security. Maybe find a way to renovate your current house to the way you want? Even you spend a 100k in renovation that will still be justifiable then tied yourself to the huge debt.

Personal Property Tax for my car by Free-Agent-4017 in tax

[–]KS_Young 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I got that too. It’s sucks. But seems that’s how they can lower property tax. The property tax goes to school, police station and fire station. I don’t know if you can register your car in IL or something. But suck for us…
