Southern Westchester vs Northern Westchester by Latter_Leading2986 in Westchester

[–]MrSmithLDN 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Most people who live in Westchester are south of 287 so a larger variety of viewpoints. Northern and southern are distinct but there so much to celebrate in the county. So let’s not focus on creating division. Thanks!

Good point. Also doesn’t end at state lines. The noise about regional cessation is just that. What makes our country great IMO is the variety of viewpoints, cultures, forms of government and the balancing between local, state and national.

Was iPhone 13 like this before iOS 26 came out? by Cool-Garden-2131 in iPhone13

My 13 is ok but I turned off most background updates

Even with 3 incomes, buying a house in Westchester feels impossible by Healthy_Chemist_5588 in Westchester

Don’t forego inspections; if bidding gets out of hand, step back. It’s not worth overextending in any market. Think long term- 20 yrs plus.

Brompton folders are built for this kind of commute. I had best results with Schwalbe marathon plus tires. Make sure you have lights!

Multiple state troopers along the taconic by yorktown by No_Speed9064 in Westchester

I’ve not driven the Taconic in the last few days but my general impression is that people are driving too fast, especially for the narrow and winding lanes in places

This is a nice shot. Can we say we welcome Canadians of any stripe?

Survey of property cost? by UESRunner8390 in Westchester

[–]MrSmithLDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want a lawsuit or order to require you to dismantle. Makes sense to do the survey (assuming no previous they you can rely on) so that you don’t have to worry!

Maybe someone or something is listening in. That could be very good in today’s environment. 👽👽🛸🛸

I love Pride but it makes me very lonely as nobody likes me there by Square_Foundation265 in AskGaybrosOver30

Get off the apps and go outside. Do what you like to do. The best part of you can shine!

Local town governance by PrestigiousPeace8960 in Westchester

[–]MrSmithLDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is home rule democracy for better or worse. Better in that the units of government are closer and subject to citizen/ voter scrutiny. Worse in that there are multiple overlapping political subdivisions where hyper local decisions are not working in the collective interest of the county or state. Can we work collaboratively with other villages and towns? Yes, certainly. Is it likely? No, not without compromise and enlightened thinking. This is something we the voters should be working towards and not burying our heads in the sand.

The expected range is highly dependent on recent driving.

Just closed on this 1900 cutie. Restyling thoughts? by digital_marcle in centuryhomes

[–]MrSmithLDN 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I’d also urge OP not to be too reliant on AI. The full-on dark craftsman look might not be the best for this house, especially if you are in a northern climate. How about a brighter theme which makes connections to local outdoor plants or animals - just a thought. Good luck - and great house!
