I figured until we figure out an automatic option, a weekly thread is probably ok, especially since Lemmy does a great job at bringing threads back up to the top if they get comments.

Rules:

  • Talk about whatever's on your mind
  • But please, please, please be kind

Currently live there now, and I love it. Some things to consider though,

  1. Most towers around here have restaurants, stores or coffee shops on the street level. Good for convenience, but in practice also very hard to keep roaches out. And they do spread to upper levels.

  2. You will need an emergency plan to get to the nearest urgent care that doesnt involve walking, transit, or ambulances (if you try to use ambulances for a cellulitis infection for example, they will tell you to stop wasting their time).

  3. you have a choice of two types of appartments. Interior and exterior facing. Interior is ALWAYS too dark, but they are quiter, warmer and cheaper. Exterior is lighter easier to cool when it get too warm and seems to have fewer roach issues
