I like cities and electric cars and the eagles.
I did not forget. Not for one second.
My only child had a stomach ache yesterday - rare for him - and actually nearly cried about it.
I told him that when I was pregnant I felt that way daily for months and would wail on the couch about hating life. Encouraged him to let it all out.

Along the same lines: changing a tire. Most cars don’t come with spares anymore, and it’s not worth carrying the tools around when AAA can do it.
The better skill and toolset is tire plugging. Learn that!

So so right!
We did things backwards; the dream house in our 20s and while it’s the city, it’s a very suburb existence (landscaping, pool care.)
We don’t regret it. It set us up financially and we’ve hosted many lovely gatherings.
But we want life outside the house. Community. Convenience.

The problem is that our current home is AH-MAZING.
It’s small on paper but huge in usable space.
Has a big solar panel array. A new kitchen. A new gas fire place. A basement with damn near a row home worth of space: a bar, a tv room, a legit gym.
And it’s paid off so…. There’s that.

Northeast, and it takes us 30+ minutes to get anywhere even on weekends.
We started looking in Old City but ruled it out in favor of NoLibs.
In addition to homes being a literal million, none have been perfect even if we spend that much.
My fav so far is feet - feet! - away from 95.

This is why I plan to move to a more central part of Philly before my kid is that age.
But we started looking and the thought of leaving our current house has me devastated.
Any recommendations on how to move a house, basement included?? 😭

Morning snack. A quarter a pop.
Vivid memories of that day’s (week’s?) pretzel sales collector coming classroom to classroom with a thick, durable pencil case for the money.

I guess the 80% answers my question a little since the things I listed max at 60% and 50% AMI, respectively, and at 80% you can likely charge rents with no subsidy that pencil out based on it having market rents in the building too.

Yeah I did see that part but my weirdo brain went “are they going in for 4% or 9% tax credits? Pure tax credit rents or accepting tenant based vouchers or hoping for a HAP?”

In Philly it’s darkly tinted covers, little metal police badges that stuck through the plate and block 2 letters/numbers, flippers, or straight up fake paper temp tags.
