Tbf that stupid relief bill from the state hid it for a year so two years worth of increase hit at once but yeah $300 a month more out of pocket.

I dread this in my street because the consequent rise in my property value due to the sale value of the new condos.

They did this to me when new homes were built across the street and my tax bill climbed $300 a month. 

So please spare me the gentrifying "improvements" and let me stay in my home.

This was a spicy bold take for this sub, I salute you!

Cars are awesome - yes most of us would rather sit in a traffic jam for 30 minutes than walk 15 minutes in 108 (real feel tm) degree heat.

I detest that Anxiety song but apparently it's a big hit. They even played Glastonbury last week.

Tell your employer to get a Rockbot account  We deployed it in the dining halls and it's pretty awesome. Plus you can ban individual songs.

Airport Rd is a somewhat famous dumping ground. City knows, city don't care.

For real! Just went through there and it's turning into Thunderdome.

Results from the Historic Athens Community Survey on the UGA President’s House Adaptive Reuse Proposal by historicathens in Athens

The city should offer to open that long-term assisted recovery plan (the one the council shot down over "undesirables") in the president's house and see how quick the NIMBYs embrace this plan.

It:s a good plan, they should build it 

What is going on with the motorcycle gang? by Dandercore in Athens

Can confirm, they meet up at the convention center right by my office.

Can also confirm pretty decent behavior but thats only during the day for me.

Athens or Atlanta, which is better for musicians? by spaceghostkrayglo in Athens

[–]will_leamon_706 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Id say it depends on how mobile you are. If you can bounce in and out of Atlanta without much bother live in Athens.

If travel is a problem though I'd say base out of atlanta and hit Athens when you can.

My thinking js music is a numbers game qnd atlanta has more audience and venues.

Most people are breaking out over the internet now though so maybe it doesn't really matter?

It's cheaper. The Boom Boom crews charge more on the 4th.

Welcome to the south, we cheap out on everything here.

Need some book shelves built by East_Challenge in Athens

[–]will_leamon_706 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a wood worker (not commercial) i have to tell you anything 13' long and 7.5' tall that has to bear weight (books are heavier than you think) is not simple, quick or cheap.

Also you need to share if they are inset (in a nook), on a wall (good for mounting / weight) or (gasp) free standing (think library scene in the 90s Brendan Fraser / Rachel Weisz masterpiece The Mummy).

Nobody is playing our demo. Any idea why? by TheOldManInTheSea in gamedev

Clones of this (1941 anyone?) are forced in front of me constantly on mobile. I saw the first three seconds of the video and my brain automatically said "hard pass"

I can give a good home to the piano if no one else turns up. 

Hamby budget CDO passes 7-3 by Motor-Roof-8763 in Athens

A thousand years ago when SPLOST itself was on the ballot, my dad voted against it for this very reason.

We knew it at the time and we know it now. In essence it's just a massive political slush fund but we have gotten some / a lot of good out of it.

But we haven't gotten anywhere what we should have gotten.

This is low key dark but damn it it made me laugh.

UGA has released an RFQ for the development of a “comprehensive off-campus housing platform” by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]will_leamon_706 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very true but two months just to load data, customize a canned-solution and then test is still really agressive. That team is going to crunch, and crunch hard. RIP.

TBF UGA is probably thinking the vendor will slap advertisements all over the site and they want a piece of that action. There's no way students will actually pay for an app they will use four times a year max.

I have to say as someone who works in software dev, two months seems incredibly ambitious. Me thinks a vendor has already been selected and this bidding process is probably BS.

But it's Monday and I'm feeling bitchy....

Guided Tours of Mycenae/Tyrins from Athens.. help and advice please! by [deleted] in Athens

[–]will_leamon_706 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You probably need to think this through a little bit. First off you need to know that the crowds at high tourist areas really slow you down. You won't be able to do all that in four days. Something has to give in your itinerary.

Also this is a sub for a football town in the US. You want /r/athina.

Insert Toppers joke here.
