Imagine the mess that Ben Carson created at HUD during his brief tenure.

If you haven't committed yet -

I'm a huge fan of the PODS-style moving containers. You can get them delivered early (assuming you have a place to put it) and load at your own pace. It's like $150 just to rent the unit for a month, then when you're ready you pay whatever fee relating to where you move, and you can take your time to unload later.

Multiple friends have used them to move over the past 10 years or so. So much less stressful than the mad rush of "everything has to get out in one day, all hands on deck" with a truck rental. And you don't have to drive the huge thing to it's destination.

There's multiple companies that do something similar. All my friends used the PODS brand and never had any issues. I've been jerked around so many times by U-Haul, renting from one location, oh we don't have the truck you'll have to go to Moon to pick it up kind of things. My brother was driving one from Latrobe to Virginia in the hills and the brake calipers straight fell off and he had to wait 8 hours in the middle of no-where for someone to come fix it and walk up a hill to get cell signal.

You've got it backwards. No one in The Run objects to necessary storm infrastructure improvements. They object to them being paired with a silly, inadequate, poorly planned and extremely unpopular autonomous project.

Yooo every single person in that looks like they are straight out of a “Bobby Bottle Service “ sketch from Kroll Show.

We have to find a way to get cops out of schools altogether. Cops create uneasiness, anxiousness, and trauma in every space they inhabit. Their presence creates an environment antithetical to learning and health.

That's the impression I got from the recruitment video.

That video screams MLM.

Holy shit that’s the worst.

Forbes is a BS site that anyone can post to now

ooo, good to know! that might allow me to book help at both ends of the move, even... thank you.

He actually goes to Jimmy Wan's and has Jimmy Wan in one of his videos: https://youtu.be/mP1AkXRMC4s?t=659

I was told from someone with knowledge about this that the FBI are now looking into them

Dodging that bullet like you’re in the Matrix.

Fuck that place. When they first opened years ago, they refused to hire anyone from the neighborhood because they wanted to attract a different set of clientele.

Thes guys make all their money through new "employees". Each new employee has a group of friends, family, contacts they don't have.

Once the employee is tapped for contacts he starts under performing and eventually gets fired.

Finally, they bank on you not saying anything and continuing the policy because you're embarrassed but really, it's just their business model.

I worked there very briefly. Their leads are garbage. I did make some sales but not in their pushy, masculine way. The people that actually make any money have no morals. Notorious BIG “Juicy” plays at the start of their Monday all staff meeting, where they announce who made what in the last week!

After I quit, I started writing a piece about them called “the church of Arias” but got disgusted with it.

Ah, damn. Yes, that is very shady and scummy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtOldyLWahs

I don't agree with the concern that this company is going to come in and turn the units over market rate in the short term future. Their HUD contracts don't expire until 2029-2044.

I am shocked that HUD would approve the sale to this private equity firm that just started operations 3 years ago. They usually approve large sales like this to companies that have experience and history with low-income properties.

The good thing is that ARCHO is getting out of the affordable housing business because they were a dumpster fire of an organization.

Is that 250 ton glass block still there?

We lead the world in computerized data collection!

I'm not even sure that I've ever heard of them, but the fact that they're ALL ACROSS APPALACHIA (which I'm sure he views us as poor and desperate) says it all for me.

I'm not desperate, just poor.

True. He was 30 when they tried to lure him though lol

Thanks

If these units really need more than $10,000 in repairs per unit then it’s no wonder they sold.

Maintaining affordable units is always a challenge and I don’t see any easy short term solutions.
