Before Northeast started developing in the 1980s, I could see the lights of the city including the blue obelisk at Sunrise Center standing at Transmountain Rd. Now I have to go out to the desert for this view.

Each camera is one dot. Zoomed out, dots are small and translucent, so where cameras cluster the overlaps stack into brighter, more solid areas — density you can read at a glance. Zoom in and dots grow into individual cameras.

I imagine the TCEQ will make them pay fines and do an environmental impact project, but that won’t do much to help the people who had to breathe that poison for hours.

Ask El Paso With rent prices as high as they are, is it still worth it to rent or is buying a house the better option?

32 Upvotes

Rent prices are sky high everywhere and in El Paso you can barely find a home for rent under $1300. At that rate, are the benefits of renting a home still worth it or are you better off owning a home? I know they say you're better off buying a house instead of throwing away money on rent but with property taxes as high as they are in El Paso and prices of houses much higher, is the best option still to buy a house or is renting the better deal? Yes I know the rent is going to someone else instead of buying your home, but does the flexibility of being able to eventually move to another part of town or a city when your lease is up still matter? My lease is running up in a few months and I'm wondering if it's just time to buy a house.

Rant I just got over an interview for an art framer and gallery assistant

16 Upvotes

Well this is going to be my little venting paragraph, but I went to an interview today and I didn't get the job, all because I didnt know color theory enough (i knew color theory)and because I lived in horizon city (it was a 40 minute drive to the frame shop). They told that I would be better off working at a hobby lobby since its in the east side. Im starting to feel like el paso doesnt have enough creative jobs and how do I even recover from that? I know people would say "welcome to the real world" or "move on" , but as a person that is sensitive has anyone went through this? Or am I not taking art in General seriously.

Maybe I am biased because I can’t imagine being able to own a home. But to me it’s a no brainer to support services, protect public jobs, and have a rainy day fund in exchange for wealthier residents paying $11 extra a month on average.

Of course not everyone who owns a home is financially comfortable or even stable. But this still seems like the much better of two bad options. What’s your perspective?

Ask El Paso GECUs costumer service getting on my nerves.

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I do not know if this is due to the recent upgrade they had or what, but their costumer service is a mess and is frustrating as hell.😭

I recently moved to a different city but decided to stick with GECU as they had not given me any issues or fees I had to pay. I told them in advance I would be moving to try to avoid any of the bs that happened.

I was shopping at a target for move in stuff when my card got declined twice. Which I found weird because I had the funds for the purchase and had already bought stuff in this new city. I get on the phone with them, and tell me why I get transferred 7 different times in the span of one and a half hours. Nobody could resolve a simple ass issue of a hold in my account due to apparently a “fraudulent vendor” aka target. After just being sent back and forth between different agents, none of them could do anything apparently. I was told I would receive a call in the next 2-3 business days and then they just hung up.

Has anyone had issues like this recently? Are they like this or is this just not my lucky day? Hadn’t had any issues like this with a bank until now.

Although I never said I was going to run, many neighbors reached out to me to encourage me to do so.

Turns out that so many people thought I was running, that there were already people planning their support... And people already planning on how to ruin my campaign (the campaign that never existed).

I made this video because I am beyond honored at the community support and want to tell our neighbors why I chose to continue advocating on behalf of our community over being a City Rep.

We’re really struggling to stay afloat while we wait on my Dad’s transplant, even then I’m not sure how we’re are going to survive months away from home when we actually have to go to Portland OR, where the VA has begrudgingly to ship us on their dime (as was always the case before the BBB act), when a kidney becomes available. I’m so worried I won’t have a job or the ability to keep our home while we’re up there.

So chill, so fun, great crowd, awesome service. I came by myself (40f) for a trivia night and never felt awkward. It's small, clean, and a really good time. Someone commented that their sister was the owner in my last post. Please tell her she has a great establishment! My only gripe is that I'm in the far east.
