wow. honest to god that would make me nervous. were there any, like, chalk outlines on the livingroom floor? bloody gloves under the sink? does a shrieking wraith appear in the bathroom mirror at midnight? it's gotta be something.

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...

Yeah. But we weren’t going to be there for very long so it was better for us to rent to not have to go thru the process of buying then selling. 🤷♀️ I know some people are fine with that but it makes me too nervous.

What I find odd is my place was a recent renovation listed for like 2 months. They had to reduce the price twice (originally was 2200)

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.

Key is to not get an apartment during the summer/early fall due to college city upcharging

conversely, do you think it IS especially helpful to keep hammering it on OP that they're having difficulty because of the dogs? like yeah, no kidding dude. what's OP supposed to do about that exactly?

Reply to comment by Myotherside in What will it take to rein in electricity prices in CT? by eddie964
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)

This isn’t true. Idk where you heard from this but the owner was, at the least, led to believe he was keeping the equipment from Blue State. This is a first hand account

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.

Correction, while owner was TERRIBLE she didn’t steal the equipment and actually sold it w the building. Most of the equipment needed to be serviced and was so severely rusted over and disgusting that the G staff declared it unusable! Hope this clears up some confusion :-)

Apparently if you eat 2 tablespoons of nutmeg you trip your face off. Prolly just from the horrible flavor of choking down two whole tablespoons of nutmeg in the first place.

They are open. Owner of blue state stole all the equipment she was supposed to leave after selling the place so their menu is limited
