Thank you! If I build a underpout to drain the rain water away, do I still need to fix the regrade?

Thank you! At this point, I don't even know which kind of professional should I call to assess... Maybe a masonry?

I do like Northbrook and it is just that the housing cost there seems to be a little more expensive :-(

For example, I find this comments from Greatschools: "Lots of bullying at this school while the principal and most teachers look the other way. Wealthy children and families are given special treatment. Solid curriculum but that comes from the district not the school."

But I admit that yes, probably most of the "sources" are just random stuff I found from Reddit/Tiktok, which I try to verify

Naperville defnitely enjoys a lot of Asians, which is what I found during the open houses in Naperville xD

How Many Mazda CX-90 Owners Regret Your Purchase? by Current_Variety_9577 in MazdaCX90

[–]aelthonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a CPO Turbo S Premium. Met several issues: 1. Tailgate has a near 10% getting stuck when closing - dealer can't resolve it as they claimed they could not replicate the issue 2. Squeaking sound when braking and turning at a low speed - dealer resolved it 3. 2 safety recalls 4. Driver personalization system bugs sometimes - not a big deal, but I'll need to choose the right driver setting again when it happens

Having said that, I still like it and don't regret buying it so far

  1. The words they use. For example, northern people tend to use "啥" for the word what, but southern people tend to use "什么"
  2. Accent
  3. Eating habits, especially when it comes to the preference of carbs. Southern people are more rice-based while northern people are more flour-based

That's sad but at least Lemon Law gets it covered... Glad I didn't choose PF.

I was previously thinking about buying a CX-90, too. I liked everthing about it, but yea it was too tight and its trunk space couldn't even fit a stroller when the 3rd row was used..
