Like when dog poop just starts to turn white

No its not. Theres no way that a landlord is installing an oil fired water heater for ~$3000 when theres already gas in the building.

There are a lot of ways around regulations, you should be so naive. When programs like this are set up, they are taken advantage of and people exploit money off of them. For every study saying there is going to be 4 feet of sea level rise over the next 30 years, there are others that say it will be negligible. Seeing that sea level rise has been negligible for the last 100 years, I believe what I see. But you believe what you want. Just funny that you believe politicians are honest and they earn their money fair and square. Haha

Did I ever say anywhere that drivers were better at following the rules of the road or that bikes kill anyone, no I didn't not even close. I'm simply responding to the statement made by the bicyclist above that says its alright to blow through red lights which it clearly is not. Just like its not alright for a car to do so either. I also bike around the city as well so I think I'm allowed to criticize what another bicyclist says just like drivers can criticize another driver for doing the wrong thing. Neither side follows the rules. And while cars are certainly more dangerous lets not act like bicyclists are patron saints and can do no wrong

Nom nom nom.

💀

Good to know! Thanks for the tip!

So maybe next time when you make a quick judgment of thinking what my priorities are maybe put a little more context behind the comment I'm making. Also I bike around the city as well so maybe my priorities are so ass backwards as you say dumbass

Maybe the speakers in your car were broken or something? Sounds like it was just an express train.

Ideally I could make the appointment today/tomorrow for this weekend

Along with that did you read all of the regulations and public financials that are provided in that link? Or read any of the documentation about sea level rise?

Is it in the attic? Good chance they are squirrels not rats. Squirrels are on a similar schedule as humans so you’ll hear them early in the morning and evening. Go outside and look for holes in the soffit. It’s a common place for them to get in. You can have one way doors installed so they can get out but not back in.

Our apartment we moved into last August was infested with them for years. Last tenant just didn’t care I guess. Did a ton of damage. Pissed and shit all over the insulation which had to be replaced chewed wires and 2x4s. Their teeth constantly grow so they have to chew on things to keep them the right length.

Were you looking for a walk-in appointment? I've had this done a couple of times in the past, and both times I needed to send information a week or so ahead of time. But I'm not sure whether that's typical in this field.

That is a simple thing for you to say. I have to buy flood insurance. Through private company, it costs $3300 a year. Through FEMA, it’s over $8000. Any explanation you would like to share why there is such a difference?

oh man

I am sure this program is all on the up and up.

Ok, you’re in the “government bad” camp that just assumes government is someone else’s puppet.

Too bad you don’t understand how people exploit and make money while working in the government.

Yeah, no need to go to Board of Health yet.

Just remind your Landlord that these rodents are chewing through wiring which starts fires and your apartment has a good chance of burning down.

If you watch local Boston news, you'll see these types of electrical fires a few times a month in Roxbury, Mattapan, etc.

It’s cute that you think that people in government and politicians don’t get kick backs. All you have to do is see how much money all these people make while they are in office. They get it in a lot of ways, for doing favors for big business. One hand hand greases the other. And there are so many places on the FEMA flood maps that have never flooded in history. They are taken peoples unreasonable fears of climate change and exploiting them for tons of money. If you honestly don’t believe that, then you need to pay attention more.

When I was biking everywhere during the 2015 blizzards it was easily faster than driving/walking/mass transiting.

Since I moved out of bike commute distance, where most of us complaining about traffic are at, I do still bike every day - it’s just on a roller in my apartment.

People who are fat/poor/miserable are as such for plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with their mode of transport. (Not including folks who eat a full fcking meal while driving - definitely some causation there)

The main issue with this is that it would severely impede water changes in the bay. It would effectively be a sewer in fairly short order, if you tried to build sea walls between the harbor islands. You could maybe build a lock system between Castle Island and the Airport, and that would be small enough that you could submerge the whole system except during storms (like the Thames River, and the Venice Lagoon) and it would protect the waterfront in downtown, but you couldn't do that to the entire bay.

FEMA doesn’t make money like that. They are a government agency and their funding is set by congress. And no, they don’t get kickback from insurance companies either. If that was tried people would go to prison.

And it is just amazing how the areas that FEMA warns “this is a flood risk” are the areas that end up getting flooded. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
