Rainwater is not very clean because of nucleation. Water vapor in the atmosphere will cluster around dust particles in the process of becoming rain, bringing down whatever pollutants/contaminants are up there.
So it can vary—if you’re near farmland there’s a strong chance your rainwater is non-palatable or even carcinogenic.

Exactly.. The guy that bought it doesnt even seem to live there, so he wont have to deal with the day to day issues. 1500 people a day through that neighborhood. 1500... Holy shit. Thats like a small amusement park at that point. I cant even imagine how long it would take you to get back to your house if you had to run out to get something.
I cant recall if it was this house or the breaking bad house. There was a story not long ago that the owner had to keep repairing their roof because people kept throwing pizzas on it. Anyone thinking the 'public' is going to respect those neighbors houses is delusional. People meet their death every year doing stupid shit for a photo and internet points. This will continue to be a shit show for the other neighbors.

Seriously $25 to throw a red baron pizza on the roof with a pic or video of you doing it. Then have someone run on the roof to grab it so more can be thrown. Easy af money AND FREE PIZZA

That's a small street and an even smaller driveway up the house, I can't imagine a couple dozen people trying to pack it in, let alone hundreds and then the people that live around there, many of whom have been there for a long time having to deal with all the crowds and people showing up at all hours, yes, all hours of the day and night.
I think too many forget that its an actual real neighborhood with people trying to go about their day to day lives and not some movie set.

Yeah it's not that the dems to such a great job either. But Republicans in particular have this reputation because they always go on and on about vets and the military. Then when it comes time to actually do something about it, the party as a whole seems to (usually) drag their feet.
More money for the military industrial complex? No worries. Better care for vets? Well hold on now, we have other priorities first.
It's pretty clear that it's more of a talking point that it is a real issue for many Republican politicians. But yeah it's not all on one party for sure

I live in western NY, so it's a ways away but do-able for a daytrip. I was really disappointed when I heard that they remodeled that whole side of the house so rhat it no longer looks like the book/movie cover.
I never understood the reasoning either - you purposefully bought the Amityville house. You knew what it was when you bought it. Why even move there if you don't want the attention? You paid a premium, I'm sure, because of the infamous nature. It's just so dumb to me.

It's still a choice for them though. No one is forcing them to get on the bus, hell I wish I joined right out of high school instead of waiting to do my 4.

I used to live on LI, play shows in Amityville, and found the house. Totally different, but still pretty cool.

Because you pay for the renewables and the fossil plants that sit idle.

You know if you cut the defense budget, the first thing they would cut is the pay for members.

Maybe not the smartest move. That being said, he also has multiple properties to pull equity from. Still doing far better than I am.

By far, the most dangerous thing about weed is the US federal government's obsession with it.
