We wanted a wood stove, but we decided we want to get out of MA badly so we're trying to update the house and wait out the bad real estate market for now. Once prices are better, we're going to sell and get a multi family home so we can rent some of it out and have more money to invest.

$440 for 4.5 months is very low. That's less than $100/month. You either have a small house and/or don't have much that uses electricity. My cousin has radiators and not many gadgets that use electricity, so their bill is about $200/month.

Yes, I have a whole house.

I will, thank you for posting.

I know I had tons of space in a triple but my mom had a walker and can’t do staircases major bummer. I got the area down thank you very much

I mean that, or just take it to a self wash bay and use the sprayer wand to get the wheel Wells and undercarriage, that way you can focus on the areas that need it most. It will prob cost you about $6.00.

My car is a 2012. Should I be fine if I wash it less? I was thinking maybe just once when winter ends.

The things you are describing are already happening under capitalism.

I don't think you fully grasp where the real issues are here.

the wording is something to the effect of banning "any wooden tenement in which cooking will be done above the second floor".

for more info look up Prescot Farnsworth Hall and his "immigration restriction league". the short version is that 3 deckers represented upward mobility for "undesirables", though the record is made to appear that it was due to fire hazards and "ugliness".

I go to Zamaro Associates on corner of Institute and Lancaster. $120 for married couple filing jointly. I think you have to call and make appointment though, no walk-ins. (508) 755-6789

And what is the law that prevents them from being built? I’ve never heard this before and lived in the city for about 30 years

Condos in a building like this unfortunately aren't going to happen. It's not financially feasible in a market like Worcester, for a number of reasons.

Trying to be helpful here, not argumentative, so here are a few reasons:

The return per square foot just isn't there. You can rent these units for a higher psf rate than you can sell them. I know everyone is complaining about housing costs here in Worcester, but the reality is that you can buy a single family home for less cost per square foot than it would take to build a similarly sized condo, by a large margin (about $200-$300psf to buy vs $500 psf to build where you'd need to sell for $700psf to make a return) so they aren't economically viable. No one is going to buy a 700k 1,000SF condo in Worcester.

Condos are significantly more expensive to build than apartments, which excacerbates the problem. The level of finishes on a condo tend to be higher, and the build quality has to be higher. When you are renting an appartment, it's pretty much take it or leave it to the person that wants to rent. In a condo building you want to pre sell, and then there are always issues when the units are built of people that bought the condo coming and and having crazy punch lists and huge battles trying to finish the project. It's just a huge headache that developers don't want to deal with.

Continuing on the last point, if you are a developer buidling these as appartments, it's a one owner sitsituation. You either hold it and make money of the rents, or you sell it to an institutional buyer that really only cares about the cash flow coming in. If these were condos, you now have 100 different buyers to deal with, and a condo association to deal with while you are trying to unload the rest of the units. Everyone knows how much of a pain HOAs are and building condos means you have to deal with one. All it takes is a few angry buyers to sue for whatever they want and you can be locked up in years of legal battles. I think you are on the hook for 10 years. So people just don't want the liability and renting as appartments makes all thay headache go away.

I’ll never not be amazed at the things the WPL has at our disposal.

it's so crazy to me—public transport & walkable neighborhoods are one of the best ways to make the city desirable for more people without immediately fucking over the lower income people already living in those areas, and yet it's totally being casted aside

56 here with a woodstove now and then and its perfect

i just got my first invoice from national grid for 4.5 months as 440$ for electricity is it high or low ?

Curious but why leave what you have?

Do you have a whole house? I just have 1 br apartment and my monthly electric bill never exceeds $35 in winter and I work from home. I can't imagine how some people's electric bills are so high.

You can wrap the baby in a thicker blanket or sleeper. I mean, what did people used to use before we had heat to keep our houses at 68⁰? Not saying you need to change what you do, but if you want to save money, there are ways to lower the temp and keep the baby warm.
