I’ve been living in this neighborhood for just about 6 months now, and I’m still deciding exactly how I feel about it.
See, I moved multiple states away from all of my friends and family, and I haven’t made new friends at all here.
What’s more, I’m terrified of driving in this part because on top of the rampant traffic problem, the other motorists are complete idiots who pay no attention to what they’re doing. It’s easily dangerous out there. One thing I cherish about the region, but, is the prevalence of trees and forests integrated with the city. There are so multiple patches of tall trees interspersed with the neighborhood perimeter, and they make resting in traffic slightly more peaceful. The only problem with them is they drop branches often, and knock out the power to our house on a respected basis. These power outages have been messing with our home’s new temperature control unit, and I’m afraid it could do permanent detriment to our central heating and cooling system. Every time my friend and I lose power, which is every few weeks, our smart control component totally shuts down and has to be reset and rebooted before it will communicate with the air handling component again. This means the indoor air is correctly untreated, becoming hot and humid when the air temperature controls and a/c stop speaking to one another. It also could be sending power surges to our extravagant heating and cooling equipment, which will entirely affect the lifespan of the system. I wish there was something my friend and I could do to protect our ventilation system long term!
