Hi! Full disclosure: I’m a Sky fan passing through Dallas en route to visit family, and I’m looking for somewhere to watch the All-Star game tomorrow night. Any recs?

five years ago today and I completely memory-holed - anybody else?

Hey folks, I vented here a couple months ago about how my small-time landlords being in the middle of a divorce while one half is living on-site has been a lot.

Specifically, I feel as like my family's future is inextricably tied to their family's, and right now it's very unclear. There's a lot we don't know, and in that sense I'm realizing how the knowledge they're withholding (and not legally required to disclose) gives them so much power over our lives. We have no idea when their divorce will be finalized, we have no idea what condition the house is really in (as we get first right of refusal if they put it up for sale), we have no idea much profit they're making on our rent, etc. There's a lot we do know (thank you, public records) but it's difficult to fully contextualize without all that other information.

We have gotten a few recommendations to get a housing inspection done sooner rather than later so we're at least more informed about the risks of buying this particular house. Everything already feels so precarious right now, and it would mean a lot to have (even slightly) more stable housing. We're firmly in middle age and would like to finally put down some roots after decades of renting.

Anybody relate or just me?
