And that’s why I live on the upper west side now. Paying the rent here is far less than paying for hotels.

I am in the same position as OP, and you have to understand that the “high income” number is the gross number, and hotel bills come out of your net income. If you make $300k per year base, before any bonuses that sounds like a lot; almost $1000 per day in pay. Then comes the tax man and 401k savings, and health insurance. It turns out they all want $400 every day from you.

When the net is $600 out of 1000, and the hotel man wants $500 of that? Not a good plan.

I have already had to go through this, myself. Sleeping outside of Manhattan negates the up side of not going home and sleeping in the city. Also a business man does not have a wide breadth of choices for overnight stays. He’s not a 20-something who’s willing to share a toilet with multiple guests. I literally was paying $500 a night, 8 months ago, for a good hotel near to my building.

You’re suggesting $1000 per week in hotel bills.

Nights in nyc are $500 each. How many nights are you saying, per week?

Amtrak runs daily direct trains from Wallingford to nyc.

The CT Rail line runs up and down the center of CT from Springfield MA, to New Haven CT.

New Haven is a rail hub for commuters. Metro North Rail and Amtrak both can get you into NYC every morning from that rail hub. Amtrak even provides direct service to NYC from points on the Ct rail line, so you don’t have to initially commute to New Haven.

Commuter rail works in the northward direction too. If you were to live in Wallingford, one person can take the train to nyc and the other can take the train to Hartford. Then a daily Uber to their office’s front door.

500 per night. We tried this.

We carried Foxon Park in our store, on an exclusive end cap. Their local rep would come every week, wander around the store, and then leave without delivering a single bottle of soda to the almost-empty shelves. The most lazy, piece of shit person imaginable. I actually felt sorry for Foxon Park, that they could be deceived over and over again by such a trash woman. Taking their money and doing no work in return.

That’s an easy one to deduce. The poor old guy panic-sold at the bottom. A guy who rode the commuter bus with me did the exact same thing.

“Fat makes you fat” is a disinformation campaign run by the sugar council for decades now. It is sugar; it has always been sugar. “Low fat” food doesn’t do shit for your weight control. Cut carbs (sugars).

The sugar people literally went to the same ad agencies that tobacco companies used, and paid them to put a hit on Fat to take the blame for sugar.

I wonder how much stored energy is lost per year due to unavoidable, constant evaporation of the lake.

Thank you for posting. Just because the circle is in the wrong spot doesn’t mean this isn’t interesting or worthwhile.

Yes, the circle missed the heritage area completely.
