does that mean the tenant has no access to the thermostat? that seems crazy but a good way to save money I guess

yeah: steam-heat radiators & heating rules per city code. sept. 15 to june it has to be 68F inside 6 ft from any windows or doors, or something like that. when the city came out, most of my apt. was in the low 50s, and the kitchen (small, leaky door) was in the 40s. it had been like that for three days, bc the owners of the prop. mgmt. co. were out of the country, it started on a holiday weekend (jan. 1, iirc), and it took that long for the inspector to come out. I wasn't the only tenant who called the city. The inspector visited a few apartments, issued something scary to the mgmt. co., and the next day & thereafter we had good heat.

in the winter my building (steam heat) is constantly wavering between needing windows wide open in 15degree weather and essentially no heat or hot water. must be tough to have one dial to turn for a 30 unit complex and the dial also turns on its own sometimes. or something.

My apartment has in floor radiant heat. Building is probably 6 years old. Everyone has a thermostat, goes to a flow control valve. Thermostat is basically just on/off and a temp setting. I usually turn it on at 66 in the winter, set for 71, but it doesn't stop until it's around 76. If I babysit the thermostat and cut it off at 71, it still rises to 73ish. The annoying thing is the boiler is also the water heater for the whole building. 16 apartments pulling on it for heat, showers, dishes. If you don't get a shower by 7am, you get a cold one until around 10am. There's no blower or central AC. Fans are pretty much required. Farts will haunt you if you don't create some air flow. But it can get down to -30ish here on the long winter nights and the radiant heat keeps it warm, I'm assuming way more efficiently than everyone having a furnace.

i say swears online posted:I assume the US will equal Cuba's experience with this hurricane at zero deaths A few deaths but like Katrina there will be a lot of “missing” people who will remain missing forever because you can’t sue over a loved one being killed by lovely infrastructure/government negalgence because they aren’t dead, just missing! A lot of inmates are gonna be listed as missing again, fyi To put in perspective the official death count of Katrina is 1,836. There are still 705 people listed as missing because of Katrina today, nearly half the official death count Dr. VooDoo has issued a correction as of 20:55 on Sep 29, 2022 |

I don’t understand how the death tolls (like actual loss of life) is so relatively low for hurricanes. they are storms the size of small states smashing into metropolitan areas. you’d think deaths would be in the hundreds at least!

it's pretty funny that the US is one of the few places where the vast majority of mortgages are based on fixed interest rates otherwise we'd get more stuff like this https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1575547197483266048?s=20&t=PQE7hLIcYFy9lu8549T2Ug

Ornery and Hornery posted:I don’t understand how the death tolls (like actual loss of life) is so relatively low for hurricanes. Despite the near constant attempts by conservatives to undermine them building codes still exist and mostly do a good job of ensuring that homes and businesses don’t just fall apart and crush people during high winds or floods. It still happens in the places hit by the worst of the storm surge and winds but usually those people evacuate unless they can’t (which is what happened to a lot of the Katrina victims).
