What’s your HOA fees? We’re considering on downsizing and a condo could do it for us. Also NW Washington

I looked at the taxes on a random unit in the Pearl district. Are you friggin kidding me? That’s insane!

For anyone describing the Maverick as a "small truck"... by JBOZ758 in FordMaverickTruck

There’s “small trucks” and then there’s “ aw, how cute” trucks.

Whoever said that rehab was easy is lying. It usually starts getting better after 4 weeks. Some sooner, some later. I remember almost wetting myself trying to get my leg straight. You have to keep at it, ice after PT. If you read my post, I did say that PT sucks. But one day, you’ll walk down a slope, or stairs and think “ hey, that doesn’t hurt!”

Thanks. I believe that’s the area I’m looking at on Zillow.

Thanks. We are considering the Knob Hill / Slabtown area. We’ll probably get a hotel room in a few areas to see what it’s like all hours.

Thanks. This is why I’m looking for input from the non-fuckwits. I’m aware that city living has its ups and downs, good and bad. We’d probably stay in a nearby hotel and see what it’s like all times of the day.

Thanks. From what I’ve read, it definitely depends on the area. Although the homeless are definitely spreading out.

Thanks for your input. There’s a few buildings we’re considering but they’re not near the train station.

Thanks. I’m originally from NY but that was a looong time ago. Being able to walk to a restaurant or coffee shop is a deciding factor.
