In addition to the idiot real estate agent, I’m surprised NYT chose this unit, and included this photo. I didn’t read through all the comments but a lot of people are commenting on it in the comments as well. At the very least NYT could have mentioned it in the “pros and cons” part, instead of just this: CONS Only the garden-level unit has access to the backyard. Pretty sure “bed bugs” is a more noteworthy-worthy con…

There are tons of these freestanding units in all types of designs. Some are designed to be used as TV stands and have storage in them, and others, like ours, are just supposed to look like a fireplace. For us it's a good way to cover up a fireplace that we can't use but to still have a bit of the fireplace-y ambiance that we like.

And the hits just keep on coming!

More than a dozen House Republicans broke ranks with their party Thursday and voted for a Democratic bill to extend expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years without any restrictions. Why it matters: It's a rare instance of Republican lawmakers defying President Trump — though the phenomenon has become less and less taboo in recent months. Seventeen House Republicans voted with Democrats to extend the subsidies despite opposition from Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). The bill, which passed 230-196, now heads to the Senate, where Senate Majority John Thune (R-S.D.) has signaled he has no plans to bring it up for a vote. https://www.axios.com/2026/01/08/trump-mike-johnson-aca-subsidies-republican
