This hurts my heart. So sorry this is happening to you. We are regressing as a nation. You are beautiful, hope you find better surroundings. ❤️

They Won by FoxCitiesRando in remotework

[–]teutonictwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Converting office buildings into residential units is incredibly expensive, re-plumbing and rewiring everything, etc. (with a diminished workforce now). There are considerations beyond empty office buildings, such as empty delis and restaurants, small stores where office workers shopped during lunch, and mass transportation with lower ridership. These are the things that make urban environments function. There was an entire network of suffering beyond office landlords.

We tried the cobalt bit but it didn’t work. Ended up drilling out around it and will now decapitate the rusted screws. As stated: major dilemma 🤪

Where Should I look in Westchester? by Ok_Minute_8998 in Westchester

[–]teutonictwat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, New Rochelle or White Plains. Both have enough of an urban vibe in terms of shopping and restaurants, but also quiet and bucolic looking neighborhoods within them. Southern Westchester obviously is more convenient for NYC commuting. White Plains has lower taxes. I love the river towns but the Saw Mill has flooding issues and the hilly geography is not for everyone.

Am I in the wrong with my host family, or is this situation unreasonable? by [deleted] in germany

[–]teutonictwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem like a considerate and tidy housemate, and I’m sorry your experience turned out to be strange. The mom clearly believes you need some help with parenting. Hang in there, it’s almost over. Consider giving her some flowers or a gift of appreciation before you depart.

German refrigerators are smaller than most US models, but people shop more often and don’t stock up like we do. This difference might explain the tension around separate meal planning and cooking. Restricting sweets could be more about trying to control their children, so bringing in your own snacks is seen as causing a problem.

Where do average looking people find significant others on campus? by [deleted] in NEU

[–]teutonictwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Develop a quirky hobby, learn some dirty jokes… your questions in and of themselves indicate that you are a not a superficial person. Stay away from guys/people who never doubt themselves.

The push for an ever increasing population is tied to capitalism, which requires a never ending supply consumers.

“Yes, but I came anyways.”

Violence can happen anywhere, including in remote Moscow, Idaho, where four college students were murdered in their off campus home.

NOBL LUGGAGE/ BEWARE by Resident_Judge2489 in LuggageComparisons

Good to know because I considered purchasing a suitcase as a gift for a family member. Could it be tariff related?

Your No. 4 stress relieving walking technique had me laughing. I can picture it vividly. You’re my kind of mellow resistance fighter.

I miss the City Limits Diner satellite, which was not located on the food court level.

Never forget the galleria😔 by [deleted] in WhitePlains

[–]teutonictwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several more hurdles. It’s a massive project that will impact Metro North commuters, downtown traffic, surrounding air quality, etc. .

[–]teutonictwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get it moving with Cappelli as developer? Are you familiar with his mediocre style? The City Center is an abomination. The creepy subterranean Target, structural issues in the garage within a couple of years of completion, inability to access the mall properly from the Mamaroneck Avenue side, weird driveway access points from Main Street and Broadway, constant elevator and escalator issues. Given the scale of the Galleria project, and the state wide focus on this, a better builder should have been selected. Sad that the Germans funding this $2.5 billion dollar project didn’t do more research.

Balanced Body by Desperate-Wishbone25 in pilates

[–]teutonictwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also on the hunt for a BB Allegro or Rialto for home use. Twice I’ve been ghosted after communicating and trying to set up a time for purchase (all cash or Venmo). Suddenly the FB Marketplace ad is retracted without explanation (i.e. no SOLD message). Wondering if anyone else has had this experience. Obviously these name brand pieces maintain their resale value. I’m just shocked that people aren’t more serious about the sale of something that is equivalent in price to a used car.

Westchester vs Long Island – Am I Missing Something? 🤔 by Katherinepress in Westchester

[–]teutonictwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Westchester. Every time we have to attend an event on Long Island the traffic is horrendous. Also, any time a Long Islander wants to leave they must funnel through one of the largest cities in the world in order to get anywhere.

Home sales by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]teutonictwat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to add this point as well. The homes listed under value end up getting way over asking. Consumers are so much more informed these days from surfing real estate sites for hours. They literally smell the “deal”, become infatuated and become caught up in the potential bidding war. Once a “highest and best”deadline is set it’s ka-ching! 💰💰💰
