The business model is based on the premise that there is a critical mass of people too polite to tell someone to fuck off. You push hard enough long enough, and someone somewhere will agree to just about anything.

It's 2023 and I'm shocked that you still have a working doorbell. 😂 Do yourself a favor and disconnect the bell inside your unit. It's two wires held on by screws. Pop the cover off and loosen one of the two screws. Tell your friends who visit to text you when they arrive.

I highly doubt that. My guess is that the kid's family owes some bad hombres money down there, and something was lost in translation to this naive administrator. I would believe the kid. Plenty of times the people you owe money to have ways of getting to your loved ones back home.

Reply to Availability of Uber/Lyfts to Boston? by fleeingflying

I have taken Uber to Logan many times. Mostly around $75, occasionally around $100. One time, I took one from Logan back here that cost $200, just a few dollars less than the flight I had just taken. But it was past midnight and I just wanted to get home.

Reply to WHY ARE HOUSES SO EXPENSIVE by mommy2boy

Unpopular take: Houses have always been expensive. In the 60s you could buy a nice house for 40k. In the 70s that bumped up to 60k. By the 80s you could buy a nice house under 100k in most RI communities. But you had to cough up 20k for a down-payment and pledge your firstborn for a mortgage. That kept homeownership out of reach for many. Then the median home price hit 150, 200,300,400... and most of us cannot afford one just like many of our parents couldn't afford one 35 years ago. In ten years, the median price will creep near a mil and people will say, "remember ten years ago when you could buy a deecent house for 400k? That was a bargain!"

The solution is not some magical dust that creates inexpensive housing out of thin air. It's a solid housing policy (offering both homeownership and rental options) combined with raising incomes in a state where people make trash wages for a variety of reasons.

Reply to comment by cbri in If you used a company to put solar on your house who did you use, and do you like them? by cbri

To be fair the job market is hot and these companies are trying to respond to a fast growing market. It's on the consumer to demand as much info as possible. It always amazes me that people will sign onto a 20-year/multi-decade contract after a 45 minute conversation with a kid selling door to door.
