I get NIMBYs not giving a shit about people who aren't them needing housing. They got theirs and fuck everyone else.

Are all these people childless misers? Do they realize that by shutting out new housing stock they are all but guaranteeing that their children will have to move away once they are grown? I don't want to hear them whine about never seeing their kids or grandkids because their offspring had to move to the far flung exurbs, if not out of the area entirely, in order to find an affordable community.

We really need to start talking about NIMBYs with the same scorn we talk about dirtbike douches or graffiti vandals, because these people are absolutely anti-social assholes deliberately making the community a less pleasant place to live.

I think you need to do some research yourself- often landlords withholding $$ are legally on the hook for 3x whatever they owe you. So say she owes you $1000, you could sue her for $3000. I would act on this sooner rather than later so you can collect all that is owed to you.

Yup. Sitting at an intersection waiting to turn left and I don't know whether I'm going to have some crazy person in oncoming traffic stop and wave me through or some crazy person behind me whip around and turn where there is no gap making oncoming traffic hit their brakes. I've had both happen. It's madness.

Makes me miss LA where I know no one is gonna let me through and we all know 3 cars are turning left once the light turns red.
