Saratoga is close enough. That place is jank anyway time for it to go

California! Prices are going up... Again stop playing stupid here, you are the one agreeing to these insane premises. How many times do I need to type, Portland put in more units since 2010 and HAS LESS PEOPLE.

Mine isn't even pay for heat or utilities. They just wanted to jump on the asshole bandwagon.

Foundations Counseling in York. That’s where we go.

It’s usually 60 all the time, 64 when I want to warm it up. I wear layers

Thank you!

I was able to start seeing a therapist that works specifically with the patients at the family medicine facility where my PCP works. My PCP set it up for me and everything. Luckily I also think it’s been a good fit. My only other therapist wasn’t really very helpful for me. Good luck!

Good bot

55F during the day if we aren’t using the floor/house and then 68F at night upstairs, and downstairs stays at 55. We’ve hardly used heat during the day since we’re running the woodstove all the time, and it’s been pretty warm out, but that’s about to change.

Excellent read on this subject

Can you show me examples of where deregulating zoning laws and aggressively densifying have failed?

ive followed the issue for a decade. I don't support no more local democracy for real estate goals. Its so funny if this is such a great idea, its not working anywhere!

​

The crisis is about sub 100k people IMO. If you want an $1800 rent and can swing it , your fine. Live in Boston, live in Maine. If you have money America is fine.

​

YIMBYism is a fake movement created by Peter Thiel and techies in Cali. Ive watched it spread last decade :)

​

If you think its progressive to deregulate housing, you be you.

scarborough downs was also owned by a guy who made his millions off of abusing kids in the name of “therapy” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Élan_School

I'm not entirely against telehealth and it looks like I'm going to have to go this route. I just prefer face to face. Thanks for your advice!

Cities have tried to implement that kind of requirement for more than a decade and it never works. If you attach such an onerous affordable housing requirement to a development then the developer will laugh their way to another zip code and build somewhere else.

Give this a watch if you have some time:

Democratic Party people on task forces telling us to upzone, wow we haven't seen that before! I wonder when the housing trickles down!

If they want a zoning change over here for a bunch of $1900 rents, I don't give it to them unless say 30 percent are at 80 percent of income somewhere in town from them. Any idea you've given up leveraging them when you upzone everything. Again housing doesn't trickle down and finally I think its fine to say "hey we don't need rentals in an area that can flood soon".

Ya, i wish there was a better way. Our landlord while a decent person sent our rent through the roof when the price of fuel went up. I dont know the answer, because he deserves his due. He raised it a couple times arbitrarily before fuel prices increased, then walloped us with the last increase.

How would we leverage zoning changes to force non market rate units?

I know they have rules and stuff, but to me, it always seemed like a bullshit " jogging " race.

52 and I'll bump it up to 60 once or twice a day

Are they paying people to come in for a battery check now?

We should leverage zoning changes to force non market rate units. Its totally neoliberal BS to say "well let them build anything and hope". Again doesn't mater what style company you have, you sell things to make money. Real estate is gonna build $1900 rents and $500k homes. I for one don't agree to the politics of letting them do it.

Housing DOESNT trickle down.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. I use it and it’s great.

I had to go through a couple of therapists there before I found someone I clicked with, but it’s been a very good match. I don’t have a flexible schedule, nor can I go physically to an office in my small town, so online therapy was the only option.

Portland, and Maine in general, have only scratched the surface of meeting its housing demand. It might seem like there is a lot of construction, but this is nothing compared to where it needs to be. Maine is a hot commodity and people with money aren't going to stop moving here because we wish it. By stagnating housing supply you aren't punish tech workers or other boogieman with money- you're punishing people without the money to compete with them. If you don't build a new mid or high-rise they'll live in an old townhouse that might have otherwise remained affordable.
