I had some one flash me on Newport Ave last week so people still definitely do it. I think it's not as common anymore since they have all the speed cameras up instead.

Hahaha! We’re in Thornton. Depending on wind direction, we actually get quite a bit of traffic.

I’m sorry, did they have a constitutional convention to nullify the first amendment?

Use storm tools to get a sense of the risk. Not worth it unless you have plenty of money and are willing to deal with the Hassel of replacing all your stuff.

I’m curious where in CO you’re from. On the DIA flight path, so like Aurora? I know when I lived in Boulder we would get an occasional plane over us, but as a former Coloradan I’m curious. Can you bring me some Cosmo’s spicy ranch?

I think there’s some law where it’s a ticket if you’re caught doing this. Not sure tho.

Been a realtor in RI over the past decade, this is not very uncommon. The seller likely did not live in this property considering it sounds like a flip by the title of the seller’s company. Nothing to be alarmed about. You have a 10 day inspection period, so just be thorough and your realtor will take care of the rest. Reddit comment threads are always filled with fear porn, I’ll never understand why people come to Reddit for advice.

Be careful with Home inspectors as well. Do some digging to find one familiar with older homes. They often overlook/miss big problems and there is little to no recourse when they do. Had a client that bought a home and was told by the inspector water damage issues were caused by the current roof. New roofing costs were negotiated at closing and completed shortly after moving in. Long story short we had to jack his house off of the foundation to replace the structural supports because an addition was made without a permit and had old plumbing in the walls that failed. Termites did the rest

Keep in mind that the trend is for sea levels to rise, and storms seem to be more frequent. That will impact the cost of your flood insurance, and the resale value of your house over time. Flood zone was a hard no for us when we moved here, even though your realtor might tell you otherwise. Your realtor only makes money if you buy something, and since there's very little actually on the market they're not going to tell you that half of that is a bad idea due to flood zone concerns. Also, coming from Colorado pay attention to mold. A metric shit-ton of houses we saw had some type of mold issue. In Colorado that is much less of a thing. We had a separate mold inspection, which was worth the few hundred dollars they charged.

Waze works for me in most cases.
Honestly, I drive through a small town on my way to 95 and I drive through 25 mph speed limits. If someone wants to be an asshole and drive 40 through a residential area, they deserve the ticket
