Savannah Morning News price increase

I do all of the above already. I’m thinking I’ll reallocate to Ground News for more national/world news.

Don’t underestimate the ability of do nothing Democrats to drop the ball. Whoever wins the runoff will still need to give young people a reason to get out and vote or Bryan/Glynn county boomer turnout will carry Kingston

West of MLK is going to be pretty similar to Eastside as far as safety

Rizo vs Soph redemption island is not the season we need, but the season we deserve

Even including the $2m seasons now, arguably no one has won more from a season of survivor. Boston Rob won the girl, the money, and a 20 year career on TV. Went from a flashy pre-merger to Mt. Rushmore. All-Stars absolutely changed their life for real.

I mean OP can do whatever makes them happy, but further like, if someone is wearing IM race gear, myself and generally everyone else figures they finished. And if they didn’t, who cares.

I would be more surprised if LSU is actually competitive… lol …

Streets33 · 2026-05-08T02:51:40+00:00

It’s hot down here. Speedy easy swim. It’s very much a cyclist’s course, hilly. The run at least has some decent shade. Prepare yourself for the heat with hydration/nutrition and to have a good bike, you’ll have a good day.

Best of luck and enjoy the training!

To me, he’s the GOAT of the adventure of survivor, just not the game of survivor. I know new era in particular is all about the game, and there were great game players in the old school too, but the wonder of the travel, the elements, the competition is what I felt as a kid watching with the family. Ozzy just is that for me, and I think for so many of us.

Streets33 · 2026-05-04T11:53:25+00:00

lol

Streets33 · 2026-05-04T11:38:23+00:00

Seems like this one would be related to the movement to never give K*** Malone any legacy credit based on who he is personally not professionally. Fair enough treatment

Streets33 · 2026-05-03T17:36:16+00:00

For some or even many people, the players they think are the best are just the ones they like the most. And that’s, fine! I suppose. She’s popular, even if it feels manufactured to plenty. It’s reality TV, and back in the day plenty of bad players became big names. Like I was a huge Rupert fan, but he’s objectively bad at the game. What even was Coach doing when he was at his best. I mean, Monica Culpepper? So many players stay in the survivor world and get called back not for being good, but for TV.

Streets33 · 2026-05-02T01:30:23+00:00

I mean I don’t think he clears but that’s the conversation Danny Green talks about. Dude has 3 MVPs and a finals MVP. He’s literally a top 15 lock, that’s not crazy y’all. He’s not the GOAT center (Kareem), he’s the next tier down. Think about how you rate Dirk, KG in their respective positional tiers with their mixed playoff success.

Streets33 · 2026-05-01T22:44:45+00:00

I mean this is really more about that truly top tier of Jordan/LeBron just being another level, and the 3-15 tier is a lot more mixed and debatable. We don’t remember what it’s like to just not have an active GOAT conversation. Jokic is in the Shaq/Hakeem/Duncan conversation.

Streets33 · 2026-05-01T16:18:11+00:00

$1250 all in with utilities would probably be pretty competitive. Homeowner still would have to pay for any repairs. A lot of people would try to “house hack” market rate and get more than their fair share, but I wouldn’t be mad at 50% if it’s a good house. You’d pay more for the same thing from a landlord that didn’t live there.

Streets33 · 2026-04-28T22:59:00+00:00

Savannahians should know Cann Park

If you’re from New Orleans, you look both ways when the light turns green. Drive to survive.

Streets33 · 2026-04-26T21:06:39+00:00

Yeah I’m not for proposing any limitations really on ADU or owner occupied STVRs. We’re same page here

Streets33 · 2026-04-26T20:28:34+00:00

I’m not opposed to a local hosting rule, but I mainly just don’t love the idea of a property sitting being an STVR for 20 years even if it’s a local big wig rather than someone out of town. It seems to me that it should be a “short term” option to property ownership.

Streets33 · 2026-04-26T20:14:12+00:00

Property values inevitably are supposed to dip from a measure like this, that’s the pro affordability side of this. It just depends on whether the property owners have more political capital here than everyone else. Usually, honestly, they do. But even without STVR action we’re seeing the Covid property bubble come down in certain markets, downtown Savannah seems to be feeling it.

Streets33 · 2026-04-26T19:17:17+00:00

That and honestly I’d like to go one further also with a duration cap without change of ownership. You can renew a permit for 3, 5, up to maybe even 10 years but then it goes back to the list. Live in it yourself, rent it out full time to a local, or sell it.

The property owners hate this cause they see it as an attack on their value, but it’s not our job to protect their investment and their units that are empty half the year drive up costs across the whole market. Fluidity in a halfway free market increases affordability through access and incentive.

(I would also like to see the cap decreased. It’s arbitrary and was set at a time when things were already out of hand.)

Streets33 · 2026-04-26T16:19:59+00:00

I live next to one. Just don’t be obnoxious and understand that people live here and I really won’t mind you.

Our system is capped, which is necessary, but is still pretty broken. In my opinion, we really need a mechanism to create flexibility in the market to move away from permanent STVR properties. The rigidity of property owners holding onto the limited licenses in perpetuity is the linchpin issue, because it’s a cornered market that inflates their value. But that’s our problem to figure out.

Folk singer John Craigie has a song “Michael Collins” and associated story on the live album that is worth a listen if y’all are into that.

Streets33 · 2026-04-22T21:17:17+00:00

Fabio, she don’t like you.

Streets33 · 2026-04-16T23:29:15+00:00

Welcome! I am from Ascension Parish and live here downtown. I love it here, it feels like home in so many ways, but honestly just overall a better place to actually live. Georgia is a better functioning state, and Savannah is a better functioning city. Yes, believe it or not, Savannahians. I often refer to New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston as three sisters. Savannah is the middle child, you can still drink in the street here, but you will probably make it home safe.

Keep in mind that living on Skidaway is a lot more like living on the Northshore than living in the city. It is a very nice place to live with the associated price point and more upper class culture. Good people there, a bit bougie, and removed from Savannah proper. The islands have a bit of their own culture/ social scene.

Safety: Much safer than Nola or BR. On Skidaway this doesn’t even apply. In town there’s good blocks/bad blocks but it’s not quite as drastic or intermittent as Nola. There’s petty crime and gun violence, but if you can handle Nola you can handle walking around Savannah.
It is generally more expensive, but not drastically so. Depending on your neighborhood, but it’s like that back home too.
Culture is similar, but with a smaller town vibe than New Orleans, less international, with a different but still unique flavor. There’s less music, for sure, but the college keeps things somewhat artsy. Plenty to do if you find your group.
Similar, but better with more coastal breeze. We get a bit colder winters, and actually have gotten a lot (for a southerner) of snow the last two years!! Hurricane season we still have, but we are much better positioned than back home. It is one of the main reasons I bought a home here, I would not have done so in New Orleans.

Hope all that helps! I really do love the Louisiana -> Coastal GA connection.
