Moving from North East ... do we go for apartment building or rental home?

Hi - what the title says. We're on a tight deadline and we're trying to get some help. It's just me and my fiance (29+30). We're hoping to buy in a year or two so it doesn't have to be amazing, but it needs to be enough.

Do we rent a house or go for a building, and what are the best areas? Or best buildings?

We like Boynton, Delray, and West Palm. I'll be working in West Palm, he's still TBD.

Any advice appreciated!

Local alt friendly hair stylists?

I’m visiting some online friends for the first time in 4 years in a few weeks, and I wanted to get a cool haircut beforehand! I’ve been to ones before, but I tend to like the funkier hairstyles— and I think the typical hair salon is a bit shy for that. I’m wanting to get my hair bleached and get it white, with a jellyfish cut… which is definitely not in the comfort zone for a Great Clips. Lol! I am an artist, so I enjoy a fun style.

Any distance is alright if reasonable!

Synthetic Oil Change VW Tiguan

Hey guys! Looking for a place to get my oil changed. Reasonable price, but more importantly a place that will give a shit. It’s a 2021, but if the place does the job right, I will be a lifelong customer. I despise going to dealerships (the upcharge rhetoric is just too much!). Thanks!

Megathread: Displaced Helene Evacuees In Need of Assistance

Following the destruction left by Hurricane Helene in northern Florida and our neighboring states, evacuees may have needed to relocate to our area. I encourage the community to welcome them with open arms. To that end this thread should be used to ask for and offer any assistance whether it’s in the form of employment, charity donations, or any other form of support made in good faith. Rule 4 against solicitation is suspended for this thread.

This post was inspired by user u/IPDaily23 and the following post they shared: https://www.reddit.com/r/WestPalmBeach/s/iLdu372ti3

Helene evacuee needing work ASAP in construction related field

Hi everyone. I left NC to evacuate the wrath of Helene. My area of Asheville was badly destroyed and I am financially in a pickle. I need work ASAP in the vicinity of Stuart, Jupiter, WPB. I am a skilled carpenter, house painter, tiler and cabinet installer with 15 years experience, including 6 years in supervisor roles. I’m an educated, clean cut and articulate guy with a strong work ethic and an eye for detail.

I do have local lodging and will be retrieving most of my tools soon. I am also an insured LLC.

If anybody has leads on companies I can contact, or projects you’d like to tackle, I would be very grateful. Have a great day.

Jujitsu for kids

Hey everyone. I’m thinking of enrolling my girlfriend’s son in jujitsu. He’s 10 years old. Really difficult time managing his emotions. He yells at his mother often, and I’m not there most of the time to help discipline him (long distance relationship for now). I’m looking for a jujitsu gym in west palm beach for him that really focuses on self-discipline, self-control, emotional mastery, brotherhood, and respect. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Any luck with prescriptions in west palm?

I use telehealth to get all of my prescriptions, but I cannot find a pharmacy that has adderal (20 mg). Due to using telehealth I can only pick up my prescription from Walgreens. Does anyone know if there is a Walgreens from Boca to west palm that has this medication in stock? I’ve been waiting to fill my prescription for 2 weeks.

Suspicious Water Bill Charges

I'm experiencing odd utility bills from the city of WPB. We purchased the new construction home in April. I've checked the meter every month since, there is no spinning or sign of a continuous leak. Usage is showing 47 June, 74 July, August 47, and 15CCF in Sept. Has anyone else had this type of experience with the city utility billing?

farming/living in the Acreage - incorporation - water tables

If you frequent farmer’s markets here in Palm Beach County, you may already know me as something of a community steward of food, food medicine, sustainable local food systems and food justice. I live & farm & survive off my property entirely, and I’m grateful for it and enjoy the relative peace&simplicty that comes with living here.

It is in this spirit of that community stewardship…I have to talk about this - I’ve been on the fence & cavalier about the importance of organizing hard for Acreage incorporation. Heck - I even thought “eh, what’s the big deal, really? The county isnt exactly fucking with me over any particular thing.” 

Now - Last week, soo many parts of the southeast u.s took on a ton of water in places traditionally thought to be high enough to be safe enough for regular local flooding events. 

Of course minto, sara baxter, westlake, avenir’s developers… they will forever push lopsided propaganda to keep folks on the fence about the merits of incorporation. In the past 10 years, I’ve heard tell of financial woes involved in the management of incorporated Loxahatchee Groves; the idea that incorporation justs adds one more layer of complication to the local governance equation, More hands to grease, more elected official to have to trust in & monitor. 

But really, IT’S JUST THE FLOOD RISK i’m now immediately very concerned about… westlake/avenir are both freshly built on new mounds & slabs & paved throughout, and extreme rainwater is likely to fishbowl in parts of the acreage as it rolls off these new higher elevations. Places that have always HELD water before avenir & westlake.

I’m hoping maybe - if we have a (very) local government advocating for Acreage interests, managing its own affairs… that might be better from just a water management perspective, let alone the agrarian/equestrian lifestyle we all enjoy leading and living near - that will be eroded if these other cities keep taking this parcel, and building that, and then litigating their way through demands for new & better road access to these new developments.

8 years out here, light just dawned on me. This place has only been set up for modern widespread human habitation for 45 years, which clearly…is not a long term indicator of the Acreage’s overall flood sustainability. 

A lot of where we all live - are areas initially carved out of water, designed to hold & hold back water from more densely populated areas. The spots in the Acreage that have traditionally been quick to take on water... will become sadly representative of what we’ll all have to bear in the future. 

These storms aren’t getting any smaller & Im afraid shit’s about to start rolling downhill in a very literal sense!

consider me off the fence near the intersection of coconut/persimmon.

Living Wages

How much does an average automotive tech make out here? Graduating soon-ish and I need to know where I stand with a budget before I decide to stay in FL 😅

Edit: Probably should have mentioned I'm graduating from a trade school program (post high school) with a decent amount of certifications under me.

Missed Connection at PBI on 9/28/24 (immediately after TSA)

I'm well aware this is a long shot but the hopeless romantic in me is alive and well. Yesterday around 12:15 pm we passed through TSA at the same time (I was right ahead of you). I sat down to put my things in order and you came and sat on the bench next to mine. When I stood up, we made eye contact and both nervously said hi. But neither of us said anything more. I regret walking off and not continuing to talk with you. The vibes were definitely there for me.

I was wearing a white tank top, loose powder blue jeans, white and orange Hoka sneakers, had a pink sweater tied at my waist, a gold choker style necklace with a rose on it. My hair is an afro.

I hope we'll cross paths again one day and have an actual conversation!
