I wonder if new leadership checks this sub? We just had a discussion about the liter around the state.

I can’t believe the state was actually taxing small businesses for a service that wasn’t getting completed.

It’s overwhelming, the prices for “basic apartments”. I looked at a nice, relatively clean (stunk like old cigarette smoke) 1 bedroom today in Riverside. By the time you pay all their fees (incl the pet fee of $100, bc I have a dog, trash & recreation fees, utilities, etc…I’m up over $2k. To sign a lease, you have to provide proof that your income is 3x your rent per month. We have a terrible problem in this state; affordable housing is virtually unfound. Try to add a dog, now you’re at their mercy. You want into one of the newer properties like this, good location, completely redone, or one of the beautiful renovated Mills in our state, add another grand to that price. People who live paycheck to paycheck are falling thru the cracks.

At the risk of sounding like a "taxation is theft" type, sales tax and income tax should be 0.0% in every state. That is pure robbery taxing someone on for their work snd what they purchase with what is left for them.

Check out the Exeter Public Library. They used to have story time and the library was geared towards kids. There is also a kids playground behind the library. (Call first, I haven't been there in a while)
