sounds like an invitation to get sued trying to pick a fight with lawyers.

like, even if careers aren't protected class, they'll find something else to nitpick on as a basis to go after the lister.

at the end of the day, i don't get why the owner would even care who's renting as long as they're

1. paying their rent on time
2. not damaging the property
3. not doing anything illegal that's going to cause problems for the landlord

Aren’t credit fees and application fees also illegal in ma

Was more snow forecasted earlier. They've toned it back a bit with each refreshed model run.

Why the hell does the T even operate as a for profit venture in the first place

If only there were some sort of professional that could uphold the societal norms that protect the safety of others.

i'm just surprised there were highway signs this morning even mentioning the snow tonight/tomorrow. like, it's just 2-3 inches. friday is the storm worth mentioning.

Could raise the sales tax a little within 1 mile of T stations to help pay for it too

Construct metal benches without the use of oil or gas? Is that made by a blacksmith in a coal furnace?

Regardless people drive these things like assholes. They can absolutely be a hazard

If it is an owner occupied building there are no protected classes, you can just be that guy.

Thermal curtains, they’re usually pretty ugly but they work really well when it’s cold out to stop drafts.

Employment isn't a protected class for housing, but daaaammnnn 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

There has to be cheaper alternatives to National Grid.

Always has been 👩‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀

A dick heart.

can you set the thermostats on a room by room basis so you aren't heating rooms you aren't actively using?

i have electric everything and my biggest bill in the last 12 months was 375 this january in a place double the size of your unit. (that being said, i'm eversource, not national grid).

i keep everything set to 55 during my working hours when i'm not home, then have it automatically crank the rooms i'm typically in up to 71 a little bit before i get home (and weekends).

when i think of it, i'll also turn it down when i go somewhere during times the schedule would normally have the heat on, but i'm not always great about remembering to do this. (at some point i'll probably set up homekit to manage that since my thermostat supports it, but for now just making the schedule in the mysa app was quick and easy)

a good smart thermostat will also be able to tell you how much power you used on heating, so while that's PROBABLY what's driving up your bill, you'd be able to see exactly how much power you used for heat.

Trail Animals Running Club hosts group trail runs at the Blue Hills and puts on low cost races throughout the year near Boston.

I hope everyone looking at this listing sees this as a massive red flag...clearly the lister has had legal problems and wants tenants without that kind of knowledge base to avoid litigation.

Like a date night in Southie with the Irish curse, we're just getting 4 inches. So no.

Wife and I bought near Haverhill last summer, at the top of the market. We did 90k over asking. We paid nearly 600k for a 3 bed built in the 50s with only 1.3k sf. The only reason we could afford it is an inheritance on my end (I know, I know...)

Sure we got a low interest rate, but I don't see us being able to move to a better house in the next 10 years and we absolutely overpaid for our home.

Now, though? Things that were in our price range 9 months ago are like 1k higher on the monthly payment than they were before.

The market is fucked, and it won't get better until rates take a SIGNIFICANT dip. Even then, we're back to stupid bidding wars.

more benches, hopefully.

Had electric heat once and made it a point to never again rent a place with electric heat.

Also lived in an apartment complex where heat was included…I left my bike in the basement, one day the frame changed colors..green to faint powered blue.

One thing to do, that can test this without any cost? Hang up a comforter or a heavy blanket across the door. If that improves things, you know you need those heavy curtains.
