New Rules

[neitherday.livejournal.com]

The following are the new rules for davis_square. Feel free to critique them.

All posts should have something to do with Davis Square or the immediately surrounding areas. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, sizism, and similar intolarances have no place here. All advertisements must be placed behind an <lj-cut> tag. The entire post should be cut, leaving nothing outside. The link text in the <lj-cut text="link text"> tag should briefly describe the nature of the advertisement. Any post that includes an invitation to exchange money, services, and/or property will be considered an advertisement for the purposes of the rules. Each user is limited to one advertising post a week. If you need to advertise more than one thing, consolidate it into one post. Multiple images, images over 500 pixels in height and/or width, and lengthy posts should be behind an <lj-cut> tag. In the rare case that there is non-worksafe material relevant to the community, it should be posted behind an <lj-cut> tag.

Local Rent Hikes?

Quick question for the assembled Davis Sq. renters:

Have those of you who have recently signed a new lease, or are about to, received rent increases? If so, how much, and for what sort of space? Any decreases? Any info you could supply, I'd greatly appriciate.

Also, if anyone knows ways of checking on neighborhood rent trends, that resource would also be very helpful.

Thanks!
