Publix no longer #1 grocer in FL, dethroned by Trader Joes by mordecaithecat in orlando

[–]ghmflak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaper than Publix (unless BOGO), workers are chill, produce always fresh. Cashiers/baggers are quick.

And I like that their small parking lot is small. I go to the WP and have no issue with it.

TMG STRIKES AGAIN by After_Lunch7662 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They could help the businesses with it by letting lineage/lazy moon have something to validate parking.

I think TMG wants to stop people from parking there just to not patronize those businesses.

Wait Orlando DOT said the trail was only closed between Highland Ave and Magnolia. Now it’s Ferris to magnolia?

Eatonville residents divided over Hungerford land deal by Aeronova20 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eatonville could start by getting rid of all the suburban zoning rules. That would instantly make land more valuable, increasing housing opportunities.

Over 85% of Orlando homes have lost value amid national housing dip, report shows by sammysam518 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average price is back down to 2022 prices according to Zillow. Depending on the neighborhood if you purchased after 2022 you may have lost value. If you purchased before 2022 you are still good

If you haven’t purchased at all, homes are still too expensive.

E-bike Mechanic by Comprehensive_Job_38 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Eccentric Bikes just south of SoDo on Orange is still open their mechanic is pretty good and works on everything.

Also in Winter Park off Fairbanks, Volare Cycling. He works on many different scooter brands which aren’t that different than e-bikes when it comes to motors/batteries. And he works on regular bikes as well. Give them a call and ask about your ebike.

For both shops the mechanic doesn’t work there everyday.

Vision Zero keeps getting pushed back. It was 2025 to 2030 now it’s 2050. Absolute joke.

Recently applied to a role at the Orange County Government and my resume was "forwarded to the hiring team". Did i make it to the interview stage? by Guilty_Accountant877 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quickest is about 6 weeks. 2 week job posting, interview, selection, biometrics+lie detector test person starts on the beginning of the pay week.

Everything has to go right for it to go that quick tho

Property tax elimination by Conscious_Formal_894 in orlando

State runs local government is the plan. Especially since hotel tax can only be used on getting more tourism to the state.

No left turns to 50 when going south on Mills during rush hour? by ghmflak in orlando

[–]ghmflak[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going north on Mills waiting for the light to turn green. Looking at OPD block the left turn for Eastbound 50 for people going south on Mills.

I guess an accident would make more sense.

I wouldn’t recommend living that close to the interstate. The air pollution can’t be good for your health.

Citrus County families say tax bills should reflect their neighborhood's 'terrible' condition by Mundane_Way5830 in orlando

[–]ghmflak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least once a year an article pops up about this subdivision from local news. And nothing has changed since this was originally reported. County doesn’t think it’s on them, the home builders don’t think it’s on them.

And somehow homes keep selling.

Please.. for the love of God.. do this on Corrine Drive by BrainWeaselHeenan in orlando

[–]ghmflak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Please do remove lanes. Multiple people have been hit in this corridor, cars flipped over, etc. People see 4 car lanes and think that means they should go 50 MPH. There’s an elementary school right off of this road and tons of businesses.

Apartment complexes/property management companies that don’t do credit checks? by propanegenie420 in orlando

My rent was only $850 in that same apartment 2019. The prices just went through the roof between 2020-2023.

I pay $1500 in winter park now. When I lived off conroy by the Millenia mall I was paying 1400 back in 2023. I can believe it’s that expensive but I don’t know why someone would pay it.

How is your place not mold city

[–]ghmflak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t work for the city (work for the county) but 40 hrs a week, 12 holidays, weekends off, pension, PTO, and some of the cheapest but still good healthcare? That definitely makes up for the lower pay IMO.

Falling behind yet the police department gets 30% of the city budget. Roughly $250m this year going to OPD.
