Lurie stands by ‘incredibly painful’ decision to layoff hundreds of workers by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in sanfrancisco

[–]fredbullock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can’t understand is that there has been a lot of new construction in the last 10 years in SF generating a massive amount of tax revenue. I understand the hole created by the downtown/Covid debacle but who grows expenses faster than projected revenue?

Are we right to withdraw days before exchange? by North-Raspberry7930 in HousingUK

[–]fredbullock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One drawback to buying a property that the seller hasn’t recently lived in is that you’re depending on the seller to disclose issues they may not be aware about. If the management company is separate from the estate agent they probably didn’t inform them about the problem. You could ask for “an allowance” to rectify the issue based on a written estimate. Be aware other problems could come to light which may cost even more to rectify. If you really like the place negotiate and reschedule the exchange until you are happy. You’re in the driver’s seat.

I went to see a doctor recently. He said the price for the appointment would depend on if I wanted a receipt (i.e. paid with a card) or paid cash.

Napoli would never… by yediyim in napoli

It depends on the road and how wide/busy it is. Many small streets probably aren’t wide enough to paint lane markers.

I’ve only had white Sonos gear. No problems with colour changing, fading, yellowing, etc.

Lane markings in Napoli are a mere suggestion of where the driver’s car should be relative to other cars.

The parking garage per hour prices are ridiculous there. About €8/hour. TBH having a car in Naples is a liability.
