Reply to comment by Unfair_Isopod534 in To deal with noncompliant landlords, state rep proposes putting properties in state’s custody until repairs are made by BobbyRobertson

These assholes tried to peg me and I can easily assume, other people for various “charges” that they conjured up citing “lease violations.” We did not break any rules in the lease and checked them on that. This is a multi-property multi-state holding company. They suck.

In other news, are you just a generic isopod or another sort?

I can also only hope they fix up the property. The amount of active water damage though…

I can't be too specific because I am not sure of your specific needs, but I would recommend a house that is on a high point as opposed to down in a low point. Much of the town has been built in former swampland, which becomes apparent in heavy rains when the basement floods.

But don't pick something where you have to drive up too steeply to get to your house, because if things ice over in the winter you'll have trouble traveling.

Beyond that, the town is all about the same in terms of personal safety, which is to say that violent crime committed by strangers is low enough that I have barely heard of any. The southeast quadrant of town has all the industrial stuff, so you might want to avoid living too close to New Park Avenue.

So pick a house with moderate elevation in the school district you prefer, and have fun.
