Why would you hurt me like that?

Please tell me someone else in this sub is as old as I am and gets this joke.

More information would be helpful. Are you renting a whole house? One unit in a two unit building? Do other units have water? Are both the kitchen and bath faucets not working?

When our pipes froze, I could tell it happened somewhere between the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Used a heat gun on the tile along the wall. It eventually thawed. Lucky it didn’t burst.

To thaw the pipes you need to warm them up. Open cabinets under the sink and bath vanity. If you have a space heater or can borrow it, use it next to the wall closet to where you think the pipes are frozen. Keep the taps open when doing this so you’ll know if it’s working.

If you use a heat gun, don’t keep it pointed at a painted surface. It will bubble and strip the paint.

Might be easier to piggyback in an existing event like Newark First Fridays.

Oof. Bummer. Maybe check hours for Gallery Aferro or Project for Empty Space.

Second the Newark Museum. Grab some food at the Yard and a beer at Newark Local before the game. All walkable.

Maybe get in an Uber to visit All Points West or the Cathedral Basilica is you want to get outside downtown and hit up a quick spot.

Rise in Bloomfield is literally spitting distance from the Newark border.

Yeah, man. I am a stereotype and usually drink local craft IPAs usually at 7% or higher. But like, to get buzzed on that at home costs more than twice as much as a gummy from Rise.

Still cheaper than craft beer.

Given the size of this thing, probably won’t be finished with people moving in until summer 2025. If a few other projects can break ground this year and next, there will be a nice pipeline of new units and continued growth for the rest of the decade.

This guy should have been fined too! Just blew right through a red light into traffic!

Yeah it’s open to the public again. There were several posts here on that last week. You can come in through Penn.

School board election is in April. Hardly anyone votes so if you do vote in it, your vote will have a bigger impact.

The school system here certainly needs work if it’s producing people like this.

Bello’s is later, right? Hopefully proximity to the train draws a crowd.

They’re probably waiting for Serafina to open with its liquor license. I imagine they’ll want to keep the skyway open as late as that place stays open which hopefully is 2am each night.

That would be plenty and cost like $45

Donuts are cheaper but your kids will probably want more than one!

Yeah but you gotta split it. It’s too big for one person. It’s like a spot you go to with a friend, get a coffee or tea and split a cookie.

It’s like a piece of cake. Probably best to expect to split a cookie with a friend. I’d be dead if I ate a whole one.

It’s good though!

Would sooner walk across broken glass.

A different way to ask this question is “Which areas of Newark will never be nice enough for people who don’t live here now to choose to live here in the future?” I don’t like that kind of thinking.

We should be pushing for all areas of the city to be nicer, safer, cleaner, and more attractive. And we should be pushing and implementing policies that allow for people who live here now to stay here. That’s inclusionary zoning through income-restricted units in new developments. That’s rent control for older units. That’s some of the programs Invest Newark is rolling out to turn Section 8 vouchers into down payments. That’s job training and opportunities for current residents to increase their income.

If people want to move out because they got a better job and want to move to a nicer neighborhood, good for them. The problem is when people get pushed out of their neighborhood because they can’t afford the rent or some other crisis. That’s what we need to solve for.

The mindset that X neighborhood is poor and should stay poor so the poor people can keep living in poor housing is bad. I know that’s not what people explicitly mean when they argue against “gentrification” but in practice that’s what it means.

We need investment without displacement. We need new people from NJ, the rest of the country and the rest of the world. We need to have housing and job opportunities for everyone. And we need to work hard as we can so that anyone who moves out of their neighborhood is doing it because they WANT to and not because they HAVE to.

End of rant.

Ask the director of the department or the supervisor for an informational interview. Don’t push your interest in the job itself unless they bring it up. Ask them good questions about the work they do and why you’re interested in it.

Not everyone who gets a job in government is “connected.” But lots of people everywhere get their jobs because the hiring managers like them.

Whichever one people who ask questions like this are from.

And it won’t be worth $1 million. The highest a single-family has sold for, all finished inside and ready to move in, was $832k last year. With interest rates where they are now, it’ll be a while before any of the corner mansions break that.
