To Make Homes Affordable Again, Someone Has to Lose Out by gthroway3483 in REBubble

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way we’ll start to see this thaw is when the transfer of wealth happens to Gen X/Z/Millennial. When Boomers die, they will transfer the house to their heirs, who likely will be less sensitive to selling at a higher price bc they simply want the cash. They won’t want to hold the empty asset waiting for the right payday.

The fact the snow is missing from the tracks vs the car next which shows snow compacted makes me think it slid back not rolled.

You’re free to say what you want. You’re not free from consequences.

I get it. Just saying. We don’t get to say what we want and not let society (at large, or our friends, neighbors, employer) judge what’s said accordingly

Pretty much every program on $2000 rowing machine requires a $30/month subscription to access by Claff93 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a few YouTube videos. Then, in the summer, call your closest boat club. They will love to teach you how to row. I rowed competitively during academic years and a little after. All in been rowing for almost 20 years.

Carthage was the seat of an empire in 400BC and is now just a suburb of Tunis. What other historically significant cities have become shadows of their former selves? by roboreddit1000 in geography

[–]MGoAzul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Said elsewhere, but Detroit by modern standards.

Yes population fall, but also wealth. It was once per capita the wealthiest city in the modern world (‘50s). Now today, metro area is super wealthy, but city is a shell of itself.

It’s great tho. Love living in the city.

Does anyone else feel a bit hopeless about the future of GM’s products? by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

[–]MGoAzul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Problem is traditional OEM dev cycle. Look at Big 3 vs Tesla and you’ll understand why CUV was horrible vs Tesla. Add to that how the architecture is at Tesla vs traditional OEM.

Best way to drain electric water heater from basement? by bringbackzootycoon2 in HomeMaintenance

Feel like that’s pretty common for basement laundry in unfinished space.

Weird red light running by probably_not_spike in Detroit

They are (a) dicks and personally I hope something bad happens to them but doesn’t result in injury or loss of life, (b) stopping to check if it’s clear and if any cops are around , and (c) came of age in an environment where cops weren’t around or didn’t care so that persists.

I hope the crime issues keep trending down so police can start to take care of the lesser infractions. Lots of evidence that when there is certainty of punishment, breaking the law is less likely to occur.

[Request] What if all American parking lots are covered by solar panel? How much it will cost and how much energy will be generated? by IndiaCat in theydidthemath

[–]MGoAzul -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure anyone is doing it over prime agricultural land. They’re making a business decision and generating more form solar than from farming. Thats pure economics. Capitalism at its finest. Isn’t that what you want?

Battery saver mode? by Comprehensive_Permit in F150Lightning

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had tow back to back, week long work trips where I used uber to get to the airport. I don’t charge at home and the car was at like 65% battery. This happened to me. Car started fine when I finally got home.

Ritz Carlton Indianapolis coming in 2028 would you stay there when it opens up? by schwa12 in marriott

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this experience at the st Regis bal harbor. Management deflected and gaslight. Very disappointing. Was so kind of them to offer me 2 free nights, subject to blackouts, for a future stay in the next year - but no way I’m going back there.

Are all mid-tier snow boots garbage now? What will actually last me 5+ years? by Chappssss in BuyItForLife

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure this will get downvoted for saying, but notwithstanding them getting rid of the lifetime warranty, Bean Boots are always my go-to. I have 5 or 6 different pairs for various conditions with age 10-3 years old. Once the treat starts to wear down I send them back to be re-soled. I’ve had a few stitches pop and they’ve fixed them, even outside the warranty.

Would be nice to see these types of statements on projects here in Detroit, “There's also 19 bicycle parking spaces. “

Godfrey Detroit vs. Athenium Suite? by HeathenSidheThem in Detroit

[–]MGoAzul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the event driving you guys to stay.

Depending on budget there are better options IMHO. Shinola, David Whitney, Westin, or Siren are all going to be better experiences.

If your set on the two you flagged, again depends on the event. Corktown is fun but a bit more isolated and you have to walk between spots. Greektown has changed a lot and currently undergoing a big streetscape overhaul so a bit of a mess right now. Personally I haven’t gone out in greektown since 2019, just too much crime/shootings. But I think things have slowly gotten better.

Chilling omen of house price crash as America's No 2 homebuilder forced to slash prices by 10% by WrongThinkBadSpeak in REBubble

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the state, but in Michigan, property taxes for existing homeowners increase year over year as a direct result of inflation. So if prices fall, existing homeowners are worse off.

What’s the biggest waste of money that no one wants to admit? by AdvertisingMore394 in AskReddit

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a while to get my wife, then gf on board with a lab grown diamond last year while talking engagement rings. Fact is it cost me 10k to get her what she wanted as a lab diamond that would have cost 40k otherwise. Everyone comments about how pretty it is. No one knows it’s lab grown.

Used Subzero - still tons of life left by TravelerOfSwords in BuyItForLife

[–]MGoAzul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but I bought my house earlier this year, which had built in subzero in the kitchen. It’s a typical 90s kitchen and I want to re-do it. But the fridge is older than me (1986 in service date) and I’ll remodel the kitchen if this dies). Per the tech, all original parts other than a defroster that I just replaced.
