Surely someone on this subreddit has an extra room.

You buy your maple syrup from Vermont.

Call 211 they have the answer.

…you’re playing in a pond hockey tournament on Saturday

Unless this was taken a few months ago, the deer probably jumped in front of the car. You know, normal deer behavior.

The very reason for that pole’s existence is to protect the people who are not in their cars from human error.

If that pole weren’t there, these muppets would be mowing down pedestrians or crashing into parked cars.

All the heatpump owners want to know where you bought your woodstove.

Love mine!!!!! I did this with the wifes car a few years ago. She was pissed. But lewst i had meat.

I'm hoping the 3d printed neighborhood Penquis and UMaine will be working on catches on and spreads like wildfire through the state

Bingo.

There’s no other solution to a lack of housing than building more housing.

Contact 211 . They have local resources just for this scenario.

i can’t see anything in the trunk? it’s just dark with smudges on the wild shield in the way.

there’s something on the far left side that could maybe be a leg but could also be just about anything else

edit: oh wait actually i just realized the deer has a tongue hanging out lol. i suppose that could be fake as part of a bit but i’m leaning toward whole deer now

The Government IS the problem!

The only way to fix housing is not more Government intervention. The government has caused this problem. With zoning regulations, code, limiting number building permits (or having any building at all). Taxes, allowing monopolies on utility companies, giving free housing to people that refuse to work.

If anyone could simply cut some trees down and build an kind of structure they wanted for their home there would be no homeless people.

The solution is simple. Get any and all government organizations out of housing and the problem will correct itself.

I think you'd be surprised. In my first house I had a furnace go very quickly after buying and my next home I had both washer and dryer go, as well as need to do roof maintenance. None of which made any sense to claim on home owners insurance and therefore came out of pocket.

Maintenance and surprise issues that insurance doesn't cover is not uncommon. If you don't have money to keep up with it and are depending on your insurance you're going to be in for a very bad time.

I spent thousands beyond my mortgage just keeping up and handling house issues at the last place I owned

Edit: forgot to add I had inspections on these places too. Shit just happens.

I definitely agree!!

Right but the issue is that say this person lands a minimum wage job tomorrow, they’re still going to be out in the cold in a day or two. No place to wash themselves or their clothes, no phone or email to keep up to date with their employer. And even if they manage to find a solution to all those problems while unhoused, they’re still going to need at least like 3 weeks pay for a deposit and months rent on a place, and that’s saving literally every penny they’re making from that job.. and also I’m not sure if you’ve factored taxes into that 550/week, so they’d be making even less than you’re suggesting

I did help, by posting relevant advice and a corresponding source. What did you do?

Room and board is not common on the east coast, you gotta head up to Alaska for those kind of jobs

That’s one of the largest commercial fishing companies in the US if there’s any interest

Benefit of the doubt on the person who didn't get kicked out of their housing arrangement and is apparently aimless on how to get housing again.

I have worked with the homeless for 25 years. The system has no real place for kids his age. There may be a youth shelter in your community that's where I would start. People have lots of different ideas about homelessness..most kids his age don't do well in any kind of shelter environment. The ones for youth have extreme rules and the ones for adults are no place for 20 year old. They typically become targets for predators or instigate issues. This is based on managing a shelter that held hundreds every night.

Your kindness means something. The posts here about being careful or not extending that kindness are very accurate ...unless the young man is exceptional. If you have the patience you could sit down with him and have him call community resources. If he's not capable of doing it himself and it's overwhelming for you then pm me and I can try to help you.

benefit of the doubts on the first person because they own a place or rent, a higher social class.

Lets walk through this slowly.

Rent is more expensive than a mortgage for a comparable amount of living space. By a lot.

So If I'm renting, I'm wasting a shitload of money, that I'd otherwise be saving if I paid a mortgage instead.

With me?

So if I need to do repairs or maintenance, I have the money because my monthly expenses are lower.

No one is getting a mortgage and getting blasted with having to put a new roof on all of a sudden due to wear and tear. Anything else is covered by your homeowners insurance, which you have to have as long as you're paying the house off.

This really isn't all that hard. Mortgage = cheaper = save money = have money.

Both people here are humans, and if one of them is on the dysfunctional side that relationship can go sour quick
