Or the measure app on your phone, it not bad. Use the celling, less clutter.

Moved from Denver suburbs to South Baltimore in October. Zero regrets. South Baltimore (federal hill, locust point) and Canton have easy access to i95 which means you’re pretty much two hours from anywhere. There are plenty of hikes, museums, battlefields, beaches, historic sites, major cities, campgrounds, east coast “mountains”, and pretty much anything you’d want to do.

The city speaks for it self. It’s where the action is — theres always something going on. Sports, clubs, a really legitimate ice cream scene, and better than expected food.

The city has its downsides. Noise. Traffic. Basic things like getting groceries are tougher than the burbs. But they’re all pretty much things you can plan around.

Try to find a rental with a parking pad/spot in the alley behind the house. Find a rental on a non main street

This is a list!

A $100 has been the base price for internet for a real long time. I’ve lived all over the country, and everyone is trying to give you a low entry point and squeeze it up to about $100. I’m not saying its right, just an observation.

So just like car insurance, if you want the lower price, you may need to make changes.

Just because its the base price, doesn’t mean there aren’t options. Retention is the department at comcast you want, but they have a customer facing term. Retention only works m-f 9-5, they negotiate all day long and their compensation structure is to retain you as a customer. If you understand their motivations it helps when negotiating.

Stay clam, play dumb (“idk my bill went up, I can’t afford this, think i need to cancel”), and the first 2 people you talk with are probably going to have to transfer you — understand this going in. Usually the retention team is well train, they understand negotiation. They will try to find a middle ground. They will use techniques like mirroring( repeating back your words) to build empathy.

There first ask will be to get you back in a contract (it sounds like you’ve had good experiences so it could be a option), generally they’ll start with adding a service. So same price $100, but now you get TV. If that doesn’t appeal keep going down the line until you find an option that appeals.

Imo $40 for internet is a great price, you may not find again.

Hope this helps get you a better rate!

Im embarrassed at how much I enjoyed their chicken parm. This subreddit acts like Atlas killed their dog and fed it to them though.

I can’t wait to see this hacked at Blackhat!!

43k? I don’t believe you. I live in 12k a year tax house, and that’s completely insane.
