Here’s a list of resources available in the area. If I can find more, I’ll add them.

There are definitely things Walmart can do to prevent more accidents from happening. The planning board has the right to require those. If Walmart didn’t comply they would be negligent. One of the biggest purposes of design standards is to prevent, protect, and mitigate human error.

The good news is that the Legislature is very focused on housing this year. It was one of the highest priority issues in the campaign, and the legislature took all of two days to pass their first housing legislation this session. Hopefully that continues.

I dont disagree jobs are what people need to do most of the time unless your rich, but jesus stop acting like a heartless Republican. "homeless people need to GET A JOB".

Oh fuck I’m getting downvoted 🤣

Caribou-lieve that?!

is this /r/GOP ?

A big part of the reason banks are more conservative than landlords is because it takes about two months to evict a tenant, and about 18 months to foreclose on a borrower.

Landlords and lenders are not weighing the same risk, at all.

So it's not entirely fair to suggest that banks are saying renters "can't" afford a mortgage payment lower than their rent payment. It's more like, "as a lender, I am not willing to bet 18 months worth of payments, plus all the costs and hassle of a foreclosure, that you will be able to make this payment."

Minimum wage is now 13.80 an hour. That $550 a week 29 k a year. And most places are starting higher. That's not magic. That's the lowest possible pay.

Zoom in. That a whole deer stuffed in the trunk.

I have said this very same thing.

There's not only not enough housing, there's not enough multifamily housing.

Multi family housing is the easiest way that a first time buyer can qualify for a house.

Build more multifamily housing and you also get more apartments which will lead to a stabilization of rents, and a decrease in the rental value of apartments that are not well maintained.

With regards to to NIMBYism, reporters need to start showing up at town meetings and city council meetings and publicly shame NIMBYists.

The Governor could start the ball rolling with a carrot; more state funds to cities and towns that provide zoning ONLY for 2-3 family homes on 5000-10000 sf lots.

Around what city are you near? I help folks find housing and have some resources but I’m on the Midcoast

No, we didn't. You just missed the part where you were dropped on your head repeatedly as a child and as such cannot form a coherent thought process.

I knew a guy that had a plow on his dodge who hit at least four within a few years.

The deer really sells it.

Good luck, you are going to need it. 20 and no job, my 14 yr old grandson has a job.

That’s literally what it always means. It’s never “my mortgage is 1500… not including mortgage insurance, property taxes…”. Even Zillow includes it in their estimate.

is that a joke this is capitalism, monetize whats left of him and then blame him for his misfortune. There is no incentive to help each other under capitalism.

So are they getting rid of the weird Ramada half exit?

This is good advice. They also offer job placement and financial transition assistance.

You just have to follow the rules, and there are a lot of them, but it's worth the work for all the help people can get.

Military service. Paycheck, housing, job training. At age 20 and absent disqualifiers (drugs, felonies, medical), homelessness is a choice because military is an option.

Yeah im sure a entry level job will magically get him a rent. Grow up and stop slamming people down and out.

Hey, don’t point that antler at him!

Stop being an ass, this person is a human and the poster is asking for help.
