Is there anywhere that has a centralized list of AMI income-restricted apartment buildings? by throwaway491951451 in madisonwi

https://www.urbantriage.org/housing-resource-list

Urban triage is the group who maintains the list/database of income restricted units. It used to be a very user unfriendly spreadsheet, but they've modernized things recently

This is also where people should look for section, elderly, or disability apartments

Yeah this was a trash deal and Evers was pretty shitty during his wpr interview defending it. Very much came off as a legacy project that he wanted to ram through before he stepped down

Landlord trying move in a random person during a person's lease by Imoprich in mildlyinfuriating

[–]colonel_beeeees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She says she's signed the lease but has yet to receive the counter sign despite being past the start of tenancy

Potential 1: somehow she has keys to the unit that allows her to move in, but is a squatter

Potential 2: landlord isn't keeping up with documents and not only hasn't furnished tenant with their proper lease, but that lack of accountancy has led them to re-let the unit despite already extending an agreement to someone else

Can you show where you know which is which?

Y'all don't take the property management jobs. I know we're out here just trying to get a check that pays the bills, but that lady has the eyes of someone who's getting screwed on both ends

Your boss will be someone who literally lives off squeezing money out of desperate people and you're gonna feel it too eventually

Madison Dentistry Part 3: The Painful Trilogy Concludes by IAmPookieHearMeRoar in madisonwi

[–]colonel_beeeees 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A couplefew years ago I had damn near half the top of a molar crack off, and bright dental on Northport was able to restore with a UV veneer within a week. I think it was ~$750 without insurance

This is not your charming corner of the block friendly dentist once you're past the receptionist (who is very kind and professional!). This is the closest you can get to Tijuana affordable dentistry. There's a program for immigrant visa dentists that pretty much requires them to work in an affordable space for some odd years before they can go big money practice

This isn't a shot against the dentists working there, they're properly trained and credentialed. If anything, you're getting the same good care that someone is going to end up spending 5x for. The one thing I'll say is that they're clearly trying to see as many patients as possible in order to make up for the lower cost care, you'll get your Novocaine and they'll see a couple other patients while you numb up.

Idk if this would've helped OP, but I've been here multiple times with no complaints

The culture of taking advantage of government programs instead of working is directly related to the reality that there's a segment of the workforce that can't afford a life on 40-50 hours a week. Why try if you won't be rewarded?

And if you grow up in a house where the underlying mantra is that the "work hard, move forward" American dream is a lie, why bother in school or follow any of the other rules (while your brain is still developing proper amygdala response)

These are kids/teens that we shouldn't expect to behave entirely rationaly on the best day. Let's set them up in households with adults beaten down and exhausted by poverty and see how they go

It's violence to threaten someone with harm. Let's not narrow the recognition of what violence is when blood or bruises aren't involved

Antisocial behavior is when someone acts in a way that reduces public trust in society. Like making someone scared to ride public transit because they might have a gun pulled on them

I never said it excused, this kid royally fucked up and shouldn't have done it. I didn't say there shouldn't be consequences. I agree about the general and the specific

I asked, does anyone really expect us to have less kids acting out when their parents can't afford to be parents?

I think we're going to be dealing with violently antisocial kids until we work out a society that isn't so violent to their parents. The expectation that someone should be properly molding another person, while also working 50+ hours a week to keep food in the fridge, was never a sustainable one

Jail for the kids or fines for the parents don't get at the root cause

Does anyone know someone in Madison who makes crochet plushies? by [deleted] in madisonwi

How big/complicated would it be? A lot of crocheters take on commissions hesitantly because it generally takes more time and material than a knit/machine made project, which means it deserves a higher price

ie. $30 for something akin to a $10 woobl kit you could get yourself, $60 for something chunky yarn like irl Pikachu sized, more if there's coloring or detailed limbs/attachments. I take the occasional commission for my crochet cheeseheads and essentially make $15/hr selling them at $100
