More like DHS is sponsoring a program to only read govt propaganda instead of private new media propaganda

I do care, and do want affordable housing, I just don't believe rent control is the way to get it because the data shows that it is harmful to housing costs in the long term.
Instead of making a negative assumption about me and writing off what I have to say why not engage in a productive discussion and share your own ideas?

I personally only read far left wing news sources then I counter it with far right news sources then I laugh at both and go back to not caring.

Owners have to depreciate the replacement cost anyway. If a carpet is 3 years old and is damaged to the point of replacing, you cannot charge for the full replacement. I think a lot of people are naive to what the laws actually are.

More subsidies and housing vouchers, property tax relief for properties where rent is under a threshold, tax increases for properties where rent is over a threshold, encouragement for developers to build more housing stock at reasonable rental rates, and plenty more.
The truth is, I don't have a single solution, but am against rent control because data simply shows that it doesn't work in the long term and exacerbates the problem of a lack of affordable housing.

I'm just here because I need to know the answer, I haven't found anything worth writing home about and I'm 5 years in the area.
Also, didn't realize people commute TO Bellingham to work, usually it's just folks trying to leave. (I kid, I realize there's a massive Amazon distro center among other things)

Or we could fix our embarrassingly poor public education system and teach our students to think critically.

Email just went out saying new season tickets are now available for next season.
Upper corner seats are available at $300/season. If you don't want to pay a lot for Friars games, that's your best option.
If you choose not to pick them up, don't complain next year when ranked games are out of your price range.

Allow vanity plates and comply with the Supreme Court allowing “naughty” words. Simple

I don't get your opposite view point tho? You don't want RI to have vanity plates? You don't like bad words? You don't like wasting money on material things as a vanity plate?

I don't understand a cap on deductions for repairs. If the tenants actually damaged the premises, they should be held accountable. I'm with you 100%

>I honestly have no idea what the local public high schools were doing.
I had this epiphany when helping administer ASVAB testing to high school seniors. You'd be shocked at the number of students leaving the Providence public school system who are functionally illiterate.

This exactly lol. The expectation of ppl knowing Rhode Island exists let alone placing somewhat geographically accurate on the map is very low. Speaking from experience.

Nope! But their falafel is definitely good.
It's this wonderfully chewy and thin crepe-like wrap they cook from fresh dough on a convex griddle. Then, they fill it with spinach & feta, meat, or a combo of both. It looks almost like a burrito. I think they said it's a common Turkish street food?

They also love attacking the source of the information.

My thoughts exactly.
Michael Flynn’s home state being infiltrated by the deep state.
But this seems to be conversational and hopefully they get the type of engagement needed for something like this to be effective.
