  • I’ve lived in 3 and had the luxury of them being fantastic and doing more than I expected, above and beyond and never being more than like…$50/mo. Included gym and pool access and stuff.

    BUT, I have a family member who lives in one where basically everybody got hit with a roof repair bill of $30k partly due to previous management embezzlement, and it ended up being taken to the courts and crap and eventually got reduced but not eliminated. I think like half the residents sold and left in the year following.

    So…it can be a crapshoot but I hear more stories that are bad than good.















  • I really don’t understand the Material allure.

    I build web apps as a job and the impression I get is that everyone wants Material, “because” - but I don’t know if anyone wants it other than “because” it’s the buzzword of the day.

    And it always sucks because the clients always say, “Follow Material guidelines BUT make this smaller, make this less round, use this font we paid for, make the buttons different, and also customize all these components”.

    It’s dumb.

    My wife and I started living together after 3 months, talking marriage at 6, and formally engaged at 9 months. We’ve been married over 6 years now.

    I don’t have time for high school nonsense. I’m not going to burn 1+ years of my life on a “maybe”. The older I get, the better I learn what I want and don’t want.

    We both had similar goals, or rather, goals that we could grow in together and not go separate ways. We had a shared sense of humor. My weaknesses were her strengths and vice versa. And we have activities we love doing together and things we love doing alone. It’s fucking great.
