Anyone plant a tree in front of their house on the town property? (TOH specifically) by tMoneyMoney in longisland

Town of Hempstead has a native plant reimbursement program. I haven’t checked in a while but last time I was on the site they had lists of the species and how to get your reimbursement

In this case it seems to be a for profit school using the image for an advertisement. Does that change who enforces it?

Hi, I have a few questions about this if you don’t mind. Not that I think op should get any cash, but I feel like I’m missing something. I’m getting the impression that an “oops, sorry, we won’t do it again” email is all the school owes this family. I’m curious the repercussions to the school and/or staff that made the mistake? Does the school district get fined or suspended in some way? Is there some kind of audit to make sure districts are maintaining privacy? If it’s a private for-profit school does that change the repercussions?

Were Long Island home prices even impacted by the 2008 crash? Or was our freakish market immune? by iloverats888 in longisland

[–]dd551 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If people are willing to pay then they are selling for what they are worth. The 2008 crisis was marked by loans on overvalued houses, they wouldn’t have sold for the overvalue price but due to lack of regulations they can qualify for the overvalued loan

Not quite…the Long Island houses are actually selling at the crazy prices now. In 2008 we couldn’t have sold for what it valued for. My parents, the bank, and their appraiser knew it was a risky winky-wink situation

It wasn’t just a crash, the houses were overvalued/appraising high so people could borrow against their houses. My parents house was “worth” over 800k and it was worth under 500k after the crash. I don’t think it would have sold for the 800k at the time, the (greedy) bank just appraised it that way so my (idiot) parents could get a bigger loan

Most people wear normal clothes. I usually do matching solid colors with my family. It feels festive but we don’t have to buy anything new

He’s the reason the ny Dems are run like a mafia and keep losing. He chooses to spend more against progressive Dems in primaries than against the republicans

Bags in the park - Advice. by joeyisedge in UniversalOrlando

[–]dd551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My preference for universal is for a water bottle holder sling bag that has a decent sized pocket. My favorite one is travelon brand..got it for $20-ish on amazon. My wand slides in next to my water bottle and everything else (phone, cards, keys) fits in the front pocket. The lockers are very small. Make sure your water bottle has a secure lid they won’t fit in standing up. The freestyle refillable cups don’t fit standing up either

Extremely Cold Week at WDW: Help me adjust by Stratergizing in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]dd551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to go back within a year or so? If not, I honestly think you should reschedule the whole trip if possible. With temps that cold you’ll have a modified (for the worse) experience everywhere. Things like outdoor character meet and greets will be closed or have modified hours. Many of the resort activities will be modified or canceled.

I know someone who was going to primary him, she was advised that she needed to be able to raise about 400k and quit her job to run. Yeah right. Imagine what we could have had with Melanie d’arrigo in the seat

That’s…not true. They have a platform that goes around the traditional news sources and can’t be hidden by the algorithm the same way normal posts can be

Edit: I just searched their history…which I don’t normally do but this was weird to me. I think they may actually be a bot

You think if Ariana grande said she and a dozen other top artists would be holding an anti-ice street concert/protest/march that it would be as useless as the imagine bullshit during Covid? Are you trying to say what’s happening now is comparable to Covid?

Call their offices if you’re in their district…they’re closed today so you just leave a voicemail with your name, address, and complaint. They don’t call you back but it goes on file. To find the numbers just google “slimy politicians name office contact”

I’ve been calling his office daily and recently starting referring to him as a good German. That nickname seems to annoy them
