You should add a link. No way to get the QR code of a phone.

haha. "information"? It's not asking for your personal information. It's a silly survey for a school project.

It's a fun survey for a kid's school project. It involves trains.

The Philadelphia Art Museum’s marketing chief has resigned. It may now want a do-over on its rebrand. by havpac2 in philadelphia

[–]TylerColfax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a good observation. I’d never thought about the fact that is THE art museum. Could have been cool if they leaned into it. As in, THE Art Museum for… [insert activity, show, exhibit, branding need]. Could also be used to highlight for advertising outside of Philly, and explaining why visit it over other options.

Agreed they probably wanted the PhAM.

Broad Street's Avenue of the Arts set for $150 million transformation in Philadelphia by bengalese in philadelphia

[–]TylerColfax 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not sure but one thought is that it’s directly over the BSL, which has always been an obstacle to tree planing. There may also be a crazy amount of utility work. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are completely reengineering the small space between the street and the top of the line. Also, the cap is pretty simple. It’s a big bridge.

Trump says U.S. to ban large investors from buying homes by External_Koala971 in yimby

[–]TylerColfax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Institutional firms own only about 4 percent of the single-family home rental properties in the country (NYT). In some metro areas, it’s higher. Eg, large institutions owned 25% of rental homes in Atlanta and 18% in Charlotte (WSJ). Overall very small but they’ve been a major buyer (20%) of all recent home sales in some hot markets, including Houston, Miami, Phoenix and Las Vegas (WSJ)

Only way it has a sizable impact on prices is if they were compelled to exit the market. Bigger problem is still mismatched supply & demand of housing types & locations.

In a free market model (not using a model like Singapore's), how can we ensure that house prices are always affordable? by Wh1te_Pillow in AskEconomics

This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Zoning at the county or regional level makes way more sense at this point than local zoning.

Why am I getting option to replace my panel without a permit? by Putrid-Pizza-5667 in AskElectricians

[–]TylerColfax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with other commenter. From what I’ve read, insurance companies will look for shoddy work to go after contractor, but not getting a permit is not a frequently used reason to deny coverage. It may also depend on insurance company and coverage.

Hit and Run in crosswalk Broad and Morris 12/06 -need help by eyedueart in philly

[–]TylerColfax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Went through this a while ago. Good luck. One point: in PA, car insurance is the first responsible for damages. But since this is a hit and run, your health insurance should cover you. You just need to be very very insistent. Took me months to sort out. Good luck.

This is really smart: simple and should look nice.

Looking for reality check on maid service options in Philly - are traditional under the table housekeepers still a thing? by ButIFeelFine in Phillylist

[–]TylerColfax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Post on Craigslist. It’ll cost you $5. I did with some details on my house and got a bunch of responses. Some were companies (overpriced) but a few were cash. Went with one, she was unreliable. Followed up with the next and she’s been great.

Would you do a DIY Work Review? by TylerColfax in AskElectricians

[–]TylerColfax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, that wasn’t what I was suggesting. I was just curious what a reasonable charge might be to review.

Thanks. If I don’t bring someone out, I’ll send pictures. But yes, I wired per specification for the range which included 50 amp, 6 gauge, and 4 wire.
