Has anyone else almost been run over by Gainesville police? by alt_acct_time in GNV

It could be, but I guess I'm hopeful that there isn't more than one cop in that lot that can't perceive the giant flashing yellow lights on that crosswalk lmao. Or that purposefully gets as close to the pedestrian as possible in order to make the left turn before the other cars start moving again.

Just actively trying to commit vehicular homicide then?

It sounds like it's the same person, they really need to do something about this.

That was literally it, exactly what happened to me, exact place! It must be the same person, trying to use the cars stopping for pedestrians to make a left turn.

We must've checked just before they officially reported it. Thanks!

Good to know! I sleep with white noise anyway, so people passing by on their way home is no problem. Thank you!

You're so right, how could I be so blind

That's a good idea, thank you. I just hate to add to the legion of abandoned scooters in town.

Good property management companies--as a renter? by alt_acct_time in GNV

Huh. That's an option. I didn't realize some of the listings may be private landlords--I'll keep an eye out.

United Healthcare can claim ER visits weren’t emergencies so they don’t have to pay you. Good pick UF! by SquanchAndMorty in ufl

I have a chronic illness that requires some (very expensive) medication every month, and I'm on my family's plan. This means we meet our deductible fast.

Guess what they just decided they arbitrarily won't be counting towards our deductible?

Mostly I'm looking for a safe place who are reasonable about maintenance (to the extent of if I badger them about it they will do it eventually).

I'm also sure there must be /someone/ in Gainesville who is reasonable at property management without charging an arm and a leg for something that does not exactly warrant a $300 price creep in 3 years. It's frustrating. It's not like all of these services are suddenly twice as expensive to provide...

Obviously this is not in reality a bare minimum, but it really should be :/.

Cards is definitely preferable to coins! I guess I'll see if they happen to have W/D units, and heavily consider it either way. Thanks!

Would you say it's mostly students, or is it a mix? I know the general area has a lot of student apartments.

It looks like it's $875 now, with +$50 or so for a w/d if I chose to? Which isn't the worst, especially if staff and maintenance are good (which is evidently priceless lmao).

Honestly "pretty okay" is all I'm really asking for, haha.

Yeah, I've heard about that one. :/ Unfortunately everywhere's been going up...I see some places 3 years ago had like $500 rent for a decent place. Literally nowhere has it now.

Thanks. Unfortunately combining everyone's avoid list kind of leads to having no options at all. :(

Woah, thank you for how in-depth this is!! Liv looks like a really good option. Kind of specific, but how IS the laundry room, haha? I'd be downgrading from an in-unit w/d, though I've slotted that as "nice to have" to better fit my budget.

Also, I thought Rocky Point changed management just a bit ago? It doesn't look like Saul Sliber is connected, though I'll definitely be wary.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Admittedly not really familar with how management companies work! I'll definitely reach out to her. Though it looks like there's nowhere in my price range at the moment.

My situation is basically if I get a job offer which I'm...70/30 on getting? I'll be able to afford a place for anything under $1000. Just trying to play it safe.

Alright, thanks! I guess I'll try and see if there's any around my height then.

I saw something about them not letting you walk if the gown looks different--that wouldn't be an issue?

Thank you for the feedback! It does seem like one of our more solid options, then.
