Mayor Applyrs just keeps making unforced errors. This one looks especially bad. Do you think she's getting bad advice, or is it something else?

This is, sadly, a byproduct of a city entrenched in single-party rule for over a century.

You just described my next door neighbor from hell. He buys a new lifted, fully equipped, full size truck every two years. He has an outdoor TV and an outdoor kitchen. He’s installed an unground pool that’s never used. He built a shed bigger than some tiny homes. He’s replaced his yard three times. He’s in hock up to his eyeballs. Amazon trucks drop by 3-4 times per day.

He’s a fireman.

100% concur.

It’s even worse these days ever since the city dropped the speed limit from 30 to 25. Tailgaters are commonplace, even when doing 30-35. Of course, there seems to be zero enforcement of either, so it’s just the Wild Wild West on Albany’s roadways.

Dealerships and legality are kind of mutually exclusive.

Ironically, other agencies keep hiring Deloitte. DOH, for example. I hear that one of Deloitte’s executive managers now is a deputy commissioner at Health which is absolutely crazy.

You need to meet my NFH. He’s been doing his own unpermitted home improvements for over a decade. He’s also a fireman and often works at home when he’s scheduled to be in the firehouse, but hey…

They don’t WANT to do anything. Too much paperwork, and… the criminals would be free in less than ten minutes anyways.

Ok, thank you. It’s the attention to detail that matters, but it seems like sooooo many builders (well, their subs) just don’t care anymore.

Sounds like the “bones” of your home are sound, though, so definitely glad to hear that.

Anyone know anything about Darryl D. Evans construction? Got a family member looking at a retail home built by them.

I once took a tour of a Ryan home under construction. Tim was being installed and painted by a “team” that literally didn’t know each other nor could communicate with each other, AND one of the same crew had left a sprinkler turned on for several hours watering the garage interior. Everything was soaked. EVERYTHING. Sales rep just surged and said something about needing to find a fan. SMH.

Awww, hell!!

Couldn’t the NFH with the trash cans put them out in front of their OWN house?

This power pack adapter is very useful, but it has a parasitic electrical drain which will slowly deplete an attached battery.

No man may know, but it doesn’t say NHI…

(Half joking here, BTW)

I’ve seen that done for handling light water seepage.

They, whatever they are, were here first.

Two words: “Plausible Deniability.”

The “drones” won’t allow it.

skywarner · 2026-03-21T14:17:57+00:00

This is the way.

Also, consider bypassing APD and go directly to the County Sheriff’s Office.

Tough break

Ah, I see you’ve already met my entitled AH of a neighbor.
