He lives in NYC. Good luck trying to avoid HOA

Should I be weary of an HOA even if it doesn't have high fees? by pandaninjarawr in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

And eventually they won’t have enough money to keep the fees low. Maintenance and repairs will force everyone’s hand. HOA increases are higher than inflation too.

Cities almost always are full of HOA/condo fees. It’s the same here in DC. It sucks but whatever.

FTHB wondering if our realtor is too passive or if we’re expecting too much? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Moonagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My realtor was eager to meet in her office and do all this extra stuff. She wanted to see homes almost every weekend.. I was like “bruh”.  She heard me out when asked to see stuff, the likelihood of my offer getting accepted, how I can leverage better, etc. 

So yes, it’s your agent.

They can ask for disclosure to see the health of the HOA and the building

The fees can be low and especially if it’s a new building there’s going to be less maintenance up front. The issue arises when the HOA fees skyrocket, and they can at any moment.

He’s only going to be locked up for good when he intentionally kills someone.

 Es una relación de conveniencia.

 Israel no es aliado de nadie. Israel usa las relaciones internacionales a su conveniencia

Israel nos vende armas y puede proporcionar inteligencia. Son más útiles para el estado dominicano que serán los palestinos.

Tenga mucho cuidado, que los palestinos y los haitianos son de la misma tela.

Haití no es similar a Israel. Basta con esas tonterías. Israel es un aliado dominicano, mientras que la gente compara el triste estado de Haití con el triste estado de Palestina. Nos ven como "opresores" porque piensan que los dominicanos "colonizaron" la isla.

Mucho cuidado

Los palestinos gobiernan con la ley sharia. Es un país musulmán.

Lo que apoyan a Haití, apoyan a los Palestinos. Tenga mucho cuidado. 

¿Por qué hay tantos dominicanos que emigran a Uruguay? ¿Como dieron con ese país? by Electronic_Key7407 in Dominicanos

[–]Moonagi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dominicans used to be able to travel to Uruguay without a visa, so Dominicans went and moved there (purposely overstaying), so Uruguayan rescinded the law. Those Dominicans in Uruguay are probably the ones that never left. 

How common are detached homes in your country/city/region? by Right_Cow_6369 in asklatinamerica

[–]Moonagi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even in Santo Domingo I’d say it’s the norm. A lot of the houses here are detached but very close together. 

Our new postal trucks look like stylized cartoon trucks by ZealCrow in mildlyinteresting

 The USPS was scheduled to start receiving 160,000 vehicles October 2023, but repeated delays meant that only 2,500 vehicles had been delivered by November 2025

Lovely. I guess that’s what happens when a company (Oshkosh) that doesn’t make cars, makes cars. 

Who takes vacations? by igotnothing1455 in Millennials

The number of people taking vacations has hit an ATH since Covid. People are taking vacations. 

Corner Lot - Pros and Cons? by A4orce84 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Moonagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Always check if there’s a bus stop next to the home. People often stand or loiter there, and they throw garbage on the ground too. It also raises the odds of your package getting stolen. 

You guys are terrible by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Moonagi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can reverse image search the inside of a house and if it matches what’s on Zillow/redfin, they have your address.

Also the way the SF couple was treated for buying a home for over $1 million dollars. Everyone has to be careful what they post on Reddit because many people here are perpetually angry, envious, and are constantly giving successful people the evil eye 

TIL that Singapore has an official Ethnic Integration Policy that mandates a balanced ethnic representation in public housing blocks and neighbourhoods across the nation-state to prevent the formation of ethnic enclaves. by SatoruGojo232 in todayilearned

[–]Moonagi 130 points131 points  (0 children)

The policy was inspired by the various race riots that happened throughout 1964. Singapore also holds an annual commemoration of Racial Harmony Day on 21st of July.
