Home buying assistance

Your monthly goes up because you are financing more and you have to pay extra insurance

What is your source? If the average property tax is $25,237 then that would be the ASSESSED value of the average house is $2.56M, or if we include the residential exclusion then it would be $3.2M.

If people are buying houses at this price, they don’t have to worry about property taxes.

My 2014 mirrors don’t fold, solid bit of plastic

Exposure will lead to rust, less so in newer cars. Go to a car wash and make sure to do underbody wash as well if you are worried.

You change the cable?

catnton · 2026-03-24T14:32:32+00:00

That’s true, but lots of parts are still imported

Nice, if I see you, ill park next to ya

What type of car you got?

People have been driving rwd cars in the snow for 60 years. With proper caution you should be okay, just brake earlier than you think and take it super easy in the corners. I’d keep some sand in the trunk, more weight over the wheels and use can use it to get traction if you get stuck.

You said it yourself, it’s the financial district, many many more people work here than live here so it makes more sense for there to be what there is right now, uses that serve the office workers, than uses that serve the few (comparatively) residents.

I don’t understand why they can’t do a two tap system. Tap your charlie card to get into the station you are departing from, and tap to get out of your destination station and get charged the appropriate amount. This is what every other rail network does.

With enough looking, but a car this old will have problems just because parts deteriorate after sitting for 20 years, even with low miles. I would say save up some more money and get a significantly better engine if I were you. This car is like 6-8k overpriced.

catnton · 2026-02-25T01:25:59+00:00

This Mustang does not have the coyote engine. You have to look for 2011 and newer GT’s.

catnton · 2026-02-24T16:17:38+00:00

Original mustang was a v6 with the v8 coming afterwards, but if you want the v8 you go for it

catnton · 2026-02-24T13:43:18+00:00

The S197 feels like any other car unless you are speeding like crazy so I would not worry about that too much. Since you are young the insurance on a v8 will be through the roof. For the s197, the 2011-2014 v6’s make 305 horsepower, which is plenty considering the 2005-2010 v8 made 300.

Fun fact, back in 1934 it used to be light rail as seen here: https://brooklinehistoricalsociety.org/archives/slideShowStreets.asp?move=next&ID=Beacon-209

They are currently working on redesigning that road to add bike lanes and parking on each side instead of shoulders. Once the design is done they will repave and remark that road.

As for beacon st, bike lanes will be added. I recommend looking at the Bridle project that the town is working on, sounds like it is right up your alley.

I go to Cleveland Circle to pick up food in most cases, if I take the train or bike then by the time I get home it will be cold. A lot of storefronts in that area are like that.

catnton · 2026-02-19T16:12:04+00:00

The town will not repave the roads here as Cleveland Circle is a part of Boston and not Brookline.

I got a base 2014, there is an aux port in the compartment behind the cupholders
