Pave the driveway. It will make this much easier not to mention it will look much better. No more driving in mud, problems with snow blowing, uneven gravel, etc... It will also increase the value of your home so it's not a complete waist.

Is there any actual data on how many people would utilize this service and the expected cost?

I see lots of people with extreme opinions (pro and con) in posts here but I would argue that it would be worthwhile to have a rough idea of what the cost per passenger is. There are other potential public transportation options such as busses that may (or may not) be much cheaper and easier to implement. Or perhaps there are simply not enough people that do a daily commute from Manchester/Boston to support a railway.

All I'm saying is where is the data?

Housing prices, much like any other commodity go up and down in value. If you are concerned about housing prices going up, don't look at how much you are paying for eggs now compared to a year ago.

You example just says that he was not listing his house at the proper market value. If he did, he would have sold it (whether it be 2008, 2009, or 2023).

They go for what they are worth because what they are worth is what the market determined.

Redditors just can't come to grasp with the fact that realestate is expensive. As pertaining to the original post, this is incredibly cheap housing. You really can't find anything cheaper in the area, so you can claim many things, but overpriced is not one of them.

I presumed this was for heating so the last three months would be fine as most people don't heat their homes during the summer. General electric usage is personal so he can look at his own utility bill, see how many kwh he uses a month and the just use local rates to calculate the expected cost.

Yes. Different locations will have different levels of influence. But that in no way negates the fact that the type of homes in neighborhoods effect housing prices.

Your original statement seemed to indicate that was not the case. But yet the examples you yourself use seems to indicate otherwise.

I can't tell if you are serious? You really think your neighbors' homes has no influence on your home value?

I have to ask, are you a home owner? Your statement seems really out of touch with the realities of home appraisals and realestate evaluation.

It will have an influence on the home values in the neighborhood so it is a concern for the residents of that area. It will also influence tax collection and the cost of services to the town which can be $10,000's per family if they have kids in the school system.

So it can have an effects on others.

This could vary from house to house, even if they use the same heating sources. Things like quality of windows and insulation can make a huge difference.

Best way is to find the place you are interested in, and then ask for the previous 3 month utility bill amounts. That will get you a realistic and fairly accurate estimate.

Canobie Lake Honda in Salem, NH.

The AC stopped working after the warranty period so we were kind of out of luck. I didn't have any bad experience with the dealership when I bought the car, so I don't have anything bad to say about them. Obviously a little disappointed of a failure like this with a hefty price tag for repair and my regular mechanic can't fix it as he doesn't have the capability to work with the new refrigerants.

I'll take your word for it. But on my home network, I run a 2.4ghz band and a 5 ghz band. In my farthest room from the router, I can connect to the 2.4ghz but typically not to the 5ghz. I thought I read somewhere to do 2.4ghz if you want to maximize range. Was that BS and it's just a fluke, or is there something to it?

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I have had CC for the past 5 years or so. I switched from Comcast as they kept raising the price. It's been the same exact price for the past 5 years with CC which frankly is what keeps me with them. I hate that "promotional period" junk and then a massive price hike.

Maybe you should have them run the numbers on how much those AUM fees are going to run you overall your lifetime. :)

In all honesty, it sounds like like you are pretty skillful with finances. I would not be paying more than a few hundred dollars for the "fun of running a few scenarios." Doing the yearly backdoor roth takes about 15 minutes of your time.

I think people are upset because a child was endangered due to her actions. She had the choice to give birth in a hospital but simply chose not to. Not sure why you are saying "she had to literally give birth outside..." That false. You call 911 and they take you to the hospital, doesn't matter if you are homeless/drug addict/etc.

You make it seem like she was forced to do any of these things. She wasn't, she chose to.
