you can’t get there from here

And that’s no bull.

You actually like turnip.

I have friends playing disc golf Saturday! Stay warm and hydrated bub

You beat the rush on Allen's before the big storm.

You want affordable housing that’s what it will ultimately be.

Needs > wants and are often far less lavish.

Part of me still thinks we’re a couple generations from UBI… part of me thinks I’ll see it in my lifetime once the boomers die off.

when your idea of a good time is chillin in your car on the phone in your driveway while it's idling for way too long. just go in the damn house when you get home! there's snacks and a bathroom. I do not understand.

One of the projects I had to complete was English tutoring at Job Crops in Bangor. The tutoring was eye-opening and rewarding. This is an excellent program for those devoted. I suggest he looks into this. Depending on his needs as well, it is near the bus station, so he can get to places if needed.

I think we should poll who wants to live in a 10 story building. Amenities, functions, sizes, and other features need to be met or it’s just a developers wet dream and does nothing to help people.

That’s pretty solid. I chuckled.

I’ll have to put a shirt on finally.

It’s not broken until you can’t fix it anymore

…you’re hoping the cold snap will kill some goddam ticks

Nice, come from a long line of commercial fisherman

If he has a birthday later than his housing needs there is a youth homeless shelter in Bangor that will help establish a record of housing insecurity and help file the paperwork for attaining a housing voucher with the state. The day program is 7:30-7:30 and the shelter runs 7:30-7:30. They can help with transportation to/from work with cab vouchers. Food assistance is available too. They accept 13-21 last I checked. There is also a transitional living program in the same building that helps youth get into apartments.

Yeah, I realize that.

Cmcc has great technical programs. Try an auto program may be able to do apreteurship program with a shop and get paid while going to school. Shops are looking for good techs.

A roof typically lasts 20-30 years. Let's say 20. I just had mine replaced for 10k, but let's say you have a massive roof and it's 20k. That's $80 a month over 20 years, which is less than the rent increases most people see year to year.

Also when I replace my roof, it adds to the value of my house. When my landlord increases my rent to cover the new roof, it adds to the value of their house.

You're paying maintenance costs on the property either way, you just pay it through rent, building equity for the landlord. Oh yeah, and the roof repair on a rental is tax deductible for a landlord.

So sure, you do need some extra cash on hand for surprises, but it's leaps and bounds better than renting in the long run financially.

Your social security number begins with 004

What does he have for skills? Does he have ambition to work? Why are you asking not him? If he wants to work I know places hiring for laborers.

It might be a good start in some places, but only a start and not remotely a solution. We would have a housing crisis anyway.

You have 5 brothers and sisters and they all have different last names.

Ya'all may not 'preciate it, but it is kinda funny...
