Grandparents home is 1600 sq and bill was $366 Home built in the 70’s.

Why torture yourself? That’s insane. You can get on a budget and spread out those higher months.

We have an 1100 sq foot house with radiators set at 68 and our bills has been ~$360 a month.

It's much cheaper to run heat through our mini splits but that radiator heat is the GOAT

For sure, new HVAC equipment is incredibly efficient compared to old.

Then people would probably be confused because it doesn't offer the same services. Short term rentals are not a new concept, don't get the pushback.

could also be the age of the boiler

i got a new boiler in 2018 and i have to say my heat is more consistant, and it lopped off about $100-$150 from my super cold month bills

Wingard saying the value of a college degree has peaked is insane to me. It’s never been more important imo. One could argue that with how quickly information flows it’s never been easier to promote a good idea to the masses. But that isn’t the typical person. The typical person would serve themselves well by furthering their education.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I cannot tell you how much you think 'it ends now' when someones got a gun pointed to your chest. It also is infuriating ppl thinking Krasners DAO is this well run, only prosecute surefire criminals, yet let the innocent ones or difficult to prove ones go.

Just sitting there, hearing the cases before me. One cop clearly witness a pretty large ($300?) heroin deal in a vacant land next to a bodega type place. Defense asked 'Did you use surveillance video' cop said no we don't use that on a daily basis. Defense asked 'Did you use your cell phone' Cop said he doesn't use his personal phone for work. Things like that, you could tell the cops knew the deal. One was a car theft, undercover cop caught him, guy had numerous priors over just the last 3 or 4 years.

I lived in a place with electric heat that couldn't keep up in winter, and even at full blast it was, like, around mid-60s in some areas of the apartment.

Never again.

It seems a good idea, but I am VERY hesitant to give that kind of power to a group that repeatedly shows they take advantage of the power they have NOW.

Never knew what this expression meant, gonna start using it more now, thanks!

Thank you for sharing your story.

If it makes you feel any better, holding jail is often much worse than real prison.

Sorry you had to go through that, something similar happened when my house was robbed.

That's a good question. Probably sorta a two way street. I would guess DAO could reach out to the PPD to get it in their posession. Probably (both) are overworked. ADA told me he has 100 carjacking cases going on at any given time, but he treated me well & returned my calls, kept me posted on things.

TBH, looking back I found him more of a grief counselor role, bracing me for a soft landing in stupidity, that's they'd let these two walk. By the end I realized how jaded I was to it all, I just made my own peace with it, hope those 2 fix themselves & get jobs. THat's what pisses me off tbh, there's jobs out there. And they pay $12-$15 bucks an hour easy. When I was 19-20 I worked for $4 bucks an hour, its crazy. Granted I went to college and mostly summer stuff, but again, work at Shop Rite stocking shelves of a year or two, they'll get paid.

Anyway, I'll just say, someone else posted somewhere there's a reason alot of these criminals have lengthy rap sheets. In the years of Lyn Abraham myb these 2 would've done 3 years time, I dunno. I consider myself pretty liberal but jeez give them 3-6 months at least. (The 20yo did about 30 days in holding custody I'd guess, probably close enough to real prison where he may have been scared straight so to speak. Getting a glimpse of 'real prison' (CFCF) up in the northeast.

>The structure will contain 81 residential units, to be used as short-term rental.

Just call it a hotel.

That really sucks, my condolences. Serious question though, would the prints and clothes thing fall under the police or is that a da thing?

Yeah, it's not awesome, but I prefer to put that money in savings.

Same kind of a setup (radiators), about 900 square feet one bedroom on a topper floor of a walk-up - $0, everything but electricity ($40/month) and Internet.

A house with central air, about 1100 sq ft on 71F year round, - may be $250 when it's really cold out.

> To save on utilities, I keep the thermostat at 63 and wear tons of layers in the house. My most recent bill was $140.

Suffering through all that to may be save an extra $100 a month during colder months?

Nope from this corner.

My house is 1300 sqft and in the colder months it's over $400, last month it was less than $300.

Free-standing house, so yeah no neighbors to share the heat with haha

Is your house detached or on a corner? That seems very high. I have a 1800 sqft mid block rowhome with hot water radiators. I keep the thermostat between 66-70, but this winter it's mostly been on 66.

My highest bill this season has been $110. I'll usually have one winter month slightly over $100 but usually it's between $90-100 for gas in winter.

My house does run warm so my electric bills are higher in summer for AC.

Sign up for the budget billing, called Easy Way. Spreads it out so you don't get hit with giant bills.

My approx 1000SF 1920s rowhome is around $80 per month on budget billing. I keep the therm at 65 during the day and 60 overnight.
