Do not buy a car at the auction.

Pay a mechanic a couple hundred dollars to go with you to look some used cars. And then purchase one.

Paying 1000 extra for a quality used car will save you a lot of money and headache down the road.

Also watch out for Nissans with the cvt transmissions Dodge darts and any German car with more than 100k miles

It means that busses could start showing up every day with literally thousands of people per month - that's what happened when New York openly invited cities in the south to send illegal migrants.

In a year's time we could very easily have the parkway looking like something out the third world with the city unable to either [a] house tens of thousands of encamped people [b] admit that the policy was a disaster because they'll be eviscerated by social media and canceled out of office by extremist supporters.

This city doesn't even have the funds to build a school with air conditioning, let alone help existing homeless residents. You think it has $100m lying around to build social housing to hand out to people it's inviting the south to bus in?

Ironically the migrants in NY have now been increasingly been leaving and heading north to Canada because even they have increasingly gotten fed up of the shantytowns, crime, drugs and public defecation

If you are in the city, rather than a suburb, you should just call 911. It is stupid, but in the city, 911 is also the non-emergency number that you are supposed to use for things like this.

To make myself feel better, I generally start with "this is not an emergency" and give it a second for them to tell me to hang up if they are slammed.
