I was reading the article and it states “Depending on apartment type and location in the building, a single person would have to pay between $804,000 and $1,886,000 in entrance fees, and between $6,522 and $11,349 in monthly fees. The entrance and monthly fees for a second person are $53,000 and $2,438.” Who can afford these prices???
Isn’t that what we heard as one of the reasons? To help downtown harrisburg businesses? I’m sure it’s been a huge boon on the weekends and after 5PM…
Anybody else find it super frustrating with bike lanes in the city? I appreciate the walnut bike lane going from one end of the city to the other but I can’t go back in that direction via bike lane. And I like the lemon st one but then it just completely ends. I know there are plans in the works but a better connected grid of bike lanes can’t come soon enough!!
Does anyone use jawnt to commute? I just realized it was a thing and am interested hear other’s experience if it’s worth it. I would take the train from Lancaster to Harrisburg if it was more affordable.
How do you guys go about getting an eye exam and then ordering glasses? I went to Myeyedr and got an exam but then they wanted $250 even after insurance for frames and lenses. I instead went to Costco and paid $135 and then submitted claim to NVA. Just curious for next time how I should be smarter about getting my exam and then ordering with somewhere like Costco or Walmart. Thank you for any input!
I got super excited reading through this as someone who lives in the neighborhood. Interested to hear how others feel. Event for this tomorrow I believe too!
