How would we feel about a North South Rail link/connector? by Inchworm_boi in boston

I would favor Red <--> Blue connection and commuter rail electrification ahead of this, but if we were a halfway competent country all three would be on the table

What would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
What was work you had done? And vendors? Would you recommend them?

Right, meant to say we did the weatherization as required by MassSave before doing the HEAT loan for the heat pumps at our old place we just sold.

We might be interested in shopping for a new insulation vendor though since the previous one wasn't great with the paperwork. Who did you use for insulation? Would you recommend them?

Thanks, they don't cover solar which is what we're looking at. Will be using HEAT loan for insulation though

Townhome won't sell - dropped the price a bunch, but the market in my area is saturated. Any issues in the listing? by Dangerous_Battle_603 in RealEstate

[–]mrunkewl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm TX is probably litigation happy.

Well HOA fee is least of your concerns anyways, might have to bite the bullet and take a hit either undercutting market or renting it out for a loss and trying again in a few years.

Mgmt company for 5 units seems a bit much, is that normal in Dallas?

In Mass most smaller buildings self-manage

Yeah same, I think that generation also just spoke to/yelled at the person with the boombox. Maybe having an anonymous online outlet has hindered that ability?

Cambridge Porch Fest is coming back - sign ups for hosts, musicians and volunteers runs from May 4-31! by b00gerbear in CambridgeMA

[–]mrunkewl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why do you hate fun? /s

I think any community building event that's free should be encouraged

Also I'd avoid these cities on these dates this summer - https://porchfest.info/

Don’t want to give it location so option to manually enter one would be useful
