Honestly, frozen Zuppardi's pies would be hilarious for a secret Santa. Might be a logistical nightmare keeping them frozen while traveling, but if you can make it work...

that's always been my understanding in this city, but i dunno, man, last november i was trying to help a new colleague find a place to live in the city and shit was WILD. i remember in particular this bullshit third floor walkup two-bedroom in east rock that was basically a half-assedly refurbished attic with some partitions. the "kitchen" was mainly an old stove sort of randomly placed in a room, there was no kitchen counter at all. they wanted $2500. it had been snapped up within a week. i think you got pretty lucky, and i'm glad for you. i find these kinds of posts so deeply anxiety-inducing these days.

I will be selling New Haven themed gifts in the MakeHaven booth at Holiday Village on the Green this weekend (Thurs-Sat). I make 3D printed illuminated ornaments and night lights, as well as a few other items. I have a few pre-made items, but mostly I do custom work. Feel free to shoot me a message or visit my Etsy page ElmCityArtMaker.

You said "generation". Twice.

"...whatever base load you offset by generation at the point of production, especially if it can be generated for a lower overall amortized cost at economies of scale (very feasible), is always going to be more efficient than centralized generation and long-distance transmission/distribution"

I recognize that it's often hard to be clear on this platform sometimes. If you're not talking about electric generation, then maybe you need to clarify.

Edit: Are you saying that burning fuel at home is more efficient that electric heating? I agree, that is a no brainer. But this is why very few people heat with electricity in the Northeast.

why'd he kick you out if he's gonna keep renting it? that sucks.

edit: my reading comprehension also sucks, evidently! just noticed that you already answered this question. i sure wish people were more reluctant to do this kind of thing to others. i can't personally imagine blithely removing someone from their longterm home because i feel like i kinda want it for me, but that shit happens all the time.

I normally don't push my products on Reddit, but this seems helpful. I make New Haven-themed 3D printed gifts. I made some NHRR nightlights, but I can do any photo of any New Haven site you want (unless copyright restricted). I also make, guitar picks and ornaments and I'm looking to expand my product base if you have any ideas. Shoot me a message if you're interested for find ElmCityArtMaker on Etsy.

Edit: I'll also be showing at the MakeHaven booth at the Holiday Village on the green this weekend (Thurs-Sat)

It can be frustrating when people argue against something you're not saying.

If I may reinterpret what I think you're saying, it sounds like downtown New Haven is being gentrified above the standards of the local middle-class population by wealthy foreigners, specifically students from wealthy families in China. Meanwhile, the big developers in town are actively catering to this trend, because Capitalism is gonna capitalize.
