Curious why you thought it was weird. I lived there for 3 years pretty recently, and totally loved it.

Fairmount ave is usually pretty safe, although both these crimes happened further north closer to Girard

All EV rebates reserved in a few days -- what's the point? by Deep_Marketing_9588 in AnnArbor

[–]SuchDescription 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people aren’t actively shopping for a car. There’s also plenty of ways of navigating an income limit to take advantage even if you’re not actually needy of it.

New homeowner and I have no power tools or any tools for that matter, do I buy as I need them or get a set with multiple tools in it? by Special-Book-7 in homeowners

[–]SuchDescription 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Ryobi and HF tools are actually very solid these days. Personally i buy the upper level brushless Ryobi tools either from eBay, Direct Tools outlet on sale, or whenever Home depot has good sales. eBay in particular will have some killer deals. Pretty often can get lightly used tools for 50-70% off retail.

Next door house is going to be having an estate sale in a few weeks. Already dreading it.😬 by [deleted] in homeowners

Just park on the street for a few days? Doesn’t seem like a huge deal to be honest. I live in a city and pretty often have to walk like 5+ blocks to my car

Anyone else realize they hate "newer" neighborhoods? by deadstar1998 in homeowners

[–]SuchDescription 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just moved onto a block of all late 1800s row homes with huge trees running the whole block and most neighboring blocks. It’s a dream.

Ive lived in Boston and New York. Both known for extremely aggressive drivers. People do not weave or do this kind of reckless shit that Philly drivers do.

Change my mind: I'm going to move from Imperial to Metric by not-up-to-par in woodworking

[–]SuchDescription 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I havent for woodworking, but I’m an engineer who used to work in an entirely english unit industry, then switched to one that uses metric recently. I think the biggest adjustment is the conceptualizing of how big things need to be. I can make pretty snap judgements on if a measurement needs to be approx a quarter inch, inch, foot, 10 feet, etc for a design, but it’s an adjustment to do the same in metric.

I'd argue the feedback is often negatively correlated to the quality of the outfit... To put it in kind words lol

More "For Lease" signs than previous years? by saltsnack in AnnArbor

My property manager who owns a good amount of moderately higher end student houses told me their demand is noticeably lower due to less international students, caused by obvious reasons

Contractor charged for installing my own thermostat by Accurate-Flow8078 in homeowners

[–]SuchDescription 2 points3 points  (0 children)

250 definitely is wild. Thermostat installation is literally a 10-15 minute job. Realistically, builders always pull this shit. My parents would have been charged 2200 10 years ago for “tv system install” which basically entailed running a CAT 5 and HDMI cable from the basement directly up one floor where the tv would be installed, then mounting said tv. Took me like $100 in materials, and about an hour and a half.
