Yuuuuup - welcome to the actual truth to term limits and limiting office pensions! People get won over by “oh term limits are good, gets rid of the bad ones quicker!” and “this is so corrupt!” but then they forget about what the actual macro impact is.

Similarly why you should never take at face value folks who push for Congress to not get pay during a government shutdown: it just puts pressure on lower income & lower wealth Congresspeople to break while those who are independently wealthy can afford to wait it out.

I was about to say “only really rich people” is ridiculous but I didn’t realize until now that most of them only get 76k, which is trash pay in Baltimore for that sort of position. Nick Mosby, however, gets $131k, and it appears that he gets a vehicle leased by the city for personal use.

My internet research seems to indicate BPM uses a bunch of independent contractor type of property managers and is an umbrella org for that.... Once you see how big a geographic area they cover, it's not really a surprise. So I get the sense your experience with them may vary widely based on the actual property management folks you get. We live in one of their properties in Canton, and they've been good for us but I get the sense that may vary by neighborhood/who is contracted or assigned in your area.

down in aa county. switched to internet only xfinity service about 2 years ago. pay around 112 a month. but last few months have paid around 130 because i need to return a modem i have but just can't seem to make it out to the store to drop it off. been working a lot but will try next week when i have some nights off.

but basically it's 112 a month for me for just internet only.

Thanks everyone, I’m thinking I’ll go for it. Worst case it’s only a year. Because of my timing it’s this or a rowhouse to make due with in Hampden.
