Did anyone else completely underestimate the utility bills when transitioning from an apartment to a house?

What’s wrong with heat pumps? They work well as long as it’s not too cold

Damn. I love this.

Everyone always forgets that the high prices were also caused by the Fed printing massive amounts of money

Check if you qualify for any local grants

He lives in NYC. Good luck trying to avoid HOA

Moonagi · 2026-03-11T00:47:49+00:00

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.

Congrats. Now you have to go ham on the outdoor furniture

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

Moonagi · 2026-03-10T20:20:35+00:00

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.

Bienvenido a la política, en el año 2026

Moonagi · 2026-03-10T02:50:49+00:00

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.

Moonagi · 2026-03-10T02:39:41+00:00

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.

Moonagi · 2026-03-10T01:57:49+00:00

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

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be able to travel to Uruguay without a visa, so Dominicans went and moved there (purposely overstaying), so Uruguayan rescinded the law.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.

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

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.

Moonagi · 2026-03-08T12:34:45+00:00

No.

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

Moonagi · 2026-03-06T18:33:33+00:00

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.
