“Dear PoPville,
I had a question for the community about gas bills. We got our gas bill this month (for January) and it’s higher than anything I’ve ever received – $130.
We just moved into this house on the Hill last summer from a condo, and it’s about 150 years old, so I know it probably won’t keep heat as well as other new places, but just wanted to check to see if this is normal for a 1300sf house (2 stories). This seems high to me, though.”
“Dear PoPville,
My mother (over 65) is in the process of moving to this area from Iowa. I had a baby in early December, so my mother sold her house in Iowa and arrived in this area in November in order to be available to help us out. She is currently staying in an empty condo in Maryland owned by a friend. She is ultimately looking to buy somewhere in the region (MD/VA/WV) but doesn’t know exactly where yet and that process has been slow given the pandemic/need to quarantine in order to help with the baby. In fact, it may still be several months until she finds the right place.
