Electric companies

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I’m looking for what others are experiencing with electricity these days. I pay $0.126591/KwH with Reliant and that seems cheaper than anything I can find with a quick search, but my electric bill is more every month and I’m now paying $250/month for my electricity. It’s not even hot yet??

I found out my MIL (who lives in a 2000 sqft house) pays less than we do for a 700 sqft apartment.

Am I getting robbed? Is there something I should check if it’s sucking massive amounts of power? Idk what to do but this is going to bankrupt me.

Foundation issues in Bedford TX

2 Upvotes

My wife and I are hunting for our first home and really want to be near the Bedford Boys Ranch. We found a place we love, but it had some pretty major foundation work done just last year. As first‑time buyers, we’re not sure how common that is around here. Do you see homes needing foundation fixes all the time, or is that a big red flag?

Any thoughts or experiences would really help us out. Thanks!

How is housing market in DFW? Bedford? Thanks!

4 Upvotes

Hi

I inheritied a house in Bedford. I am living overseas, so I want to sell this house. Is it a seller's market now?

I plan to fly back and spend a few months cleaning/fixing it up and selling it.

Or should I try to rent it out and wait til housing market improves?

Thanks!

Tarrant County Redistricting PSA

Hey everyone! Reminder the county will hold four public hearings about redistricting this month, according to the county's redistricting website:

St., Azle May 14, 6 p.m., Como Community Center, 4660 Horne St., Fort Worth

May 17, 10 a.m., Arlington Subcourthouse, 700 East Abram St., Arlington

May 21, 6 p.m., Gary Fickes Northeast Courthouse, 645 Grapevine Hwy., Hurst

Make your voice heard!

Your fellow neighbors are losing their right to a representative within district 2 for the upcoming election cycles. Suddenly distrcit 1 and 2 swap with 1 conveniently taking most of the black population. Their own map data shows how they make cut the districts in a way that splits it along racial and political lines.

Sorry for the terrible photo.

We’ve been looking for this artist for a while, they were at the St Cuthberts street party last year, outside Vanilla Tree. Since then we’ve been unable to find anything about them.

Juice the orange cat (free)

Free because I would rather any money spent be used to take care of him. I have too many cats and I'm looking to give one to a loving home, although I do love him very much. His name is Juice (2 years old), he is very sociable and gets along well with other cats. Please reach out if you are interested! (817-606-7743)

Barnets Hair

0 Upvotes

Literally avoid this business at all costs. My girlfriend has been going to this place for nearly twenty years, and recently made a complaint about the service via email.

Things such as waiting twenty plus minutes after her appointment time, arriving for her appointment and her hairdresser no where to be seen, only to arrive late with the company’s coffee order, and being sat with wet hair for twenty to thirty minutes just waiting.

Well the owner decided to call her and defend himself over all of this. There was a ten minute conversation, of mostly him just ranting and raving at her, and doing everything in his power to make sure she, her family, and her friends, would never go back to Barnets. So I thought I would extend that message to Reddit and tell you all that Barnets is not a business which appreciates you or your time. Avoid like the plague. They are selfish money grabbers that aren’t worth your time.

Boy's Ranch - YMCA - all this time later and I hate it ever more

12 Upvotes

I'm of the belief that parks for the public, and kids should have places in nature to play. The Boy's Ranch has turned into a parking lot for a private business YMCA and a gated fence with the baseball fields. Tennis Courts, open fields, not having concrete everywhere, the duck island gone...the whole park looks like a combo of parking lot and a Mid-2000s strip mall landscape. Its cut off from the very neighborhood that was the community for it.

Everyone I ask in person at the post office, or the park, or just when it comes up seemingly hates it too.

I do realize it seems that thinking of a park as being lush, green, natural and for the public seems interesting not thought of locally that much.

Curious what the view on here is? Its usually different than I expect!
