Intrigued by the possibility of moving to #roslindale, if I can find something (I have a little time before I need to move).
Drove around it a little today, really liked the vibe (yes I know I should have gotten out and walked, but I didn't have a whole lot of time today. Will get to that.)
But there's like NO #traderJoes convenient, it seems. 😢 Is that a #Boston thing?

Dear #lazyWeb : does anyone know of a website/app like https://www.commutometer.com that would provide bike travel times? (commutometer is public-transit focused, which is great, but I'd like to also use bike as an option)
(yes, I can check point-to-point bike times with google maps, but a choropleth map would be handy for overview)

- Where do I go to take out my trash? Does it cost extra? Do I need to sort recyclables? Is there a local composting service?
- Do all the stove tops work? Are the stove tops electric or gas? Is there a carbon monoxide detector?
- Have the carpets been cleaned?
- Have there been any recent smokers? (I have breathing issues)
- Do the windows have drafts?
- How does heating and cooling work in the building? When does it come on?
- Is there an in-unit laundry?
- How many power outlets per room?
- Do I need renter's insurance?
- How much kitchen space is there? Is there a counter AND detached island?
- Are the windows south facing? How is the lighting? How much privacy do I get with the windows?
- They should tell me about damage for the outlets, switches, stove burners, and water pipes.
- What is the repair service protocol? Is there a dedicated repair person? How long? What do others say?
- What is the mail system like? How secure is it?
- Do I need to pay for electricity? (okay) Water? (less okay)
- Look up the landlord, any previous tenant issues?

Hunting for an #apartment in #Berlin - a live field report 🧵

Be careful. The #Dogpatch in #SanFrancisco is the worst neighborhood. Leave those apartments empty.
Until April. After which point I’ll see you around. :NekoYay: #apartmenthunting

Apartment hunting in NYC is challenging. (That's probably an understatement.) Share your apartment/house hunting experiences. Maybe it will distract me from the NYC apartment sticker price shock. (I will NOT pay over 3k for an apartment with no bedroom and only one tiny closet!) #nyclife #apartmenthunting #a6thfloorwalkupisHOWMUCH?
