The cords getting hot means the cords are not rated for what is plugged into them, and has nothing to do with the wiring in the unit. Could be an issue of not enough outlets so tenant has to use extension cords and is not using properly sized ones. 7 ft ceilings are fine on pre-existing bldg, IMO.

Reading the link he is using this as sort of a strange way to say you need to assess the dollar vs where it was a little further back in time, before Trump. I don't know why he doesn't just say that here.

A 4 storey building with 6 units should not require city council approval in a city of almost 3 million people!

Maga is sick in the head. Deport the lady who gets up every day at 5am to make you tamales but let anyone in who will pay Trump, and let them not pay taxes too.

Is "track conditions" a euphemism?

Could the small decrease in Federal jobs be driven by ICE hiring?

Emphasis on "in addition to", for me anyway. Hate not being able to get an actual pint of beer at some places.

I am NOT donating to the DNC or DLCC until the leadership stands up to Trump; the party doesn't cave into his demands. What part of "he's on the ropes now" does the party leadership not get. Cave in again and the party has once again lost credibility. DO NOT CAVE; compromise to our strengths.

Look at where they would be if they had not unwisely shrunk the nuclear footprint.
