I bought my first house when I made less than 50k and 5k in cash. If you want something you go for it, not whine about it.

They have been looking for a home. Currently renting from Pioneer. Join reclaim and got told they need to leave march 1st or be evicted. Its hard to have a comfortable situation while being told you might be homeless for wanting water that isnt full of lead.

I’m mostly concerned with an arrest record… assault, domestic violence, etc. I live on the premises so it’s important to me to do that kind of check.

Yeah I started back at URI when I was over 30. All I have to say is no matter how old I got, they were always 18. Have fun and do well in your studies.

Well you decided to engage with me. I already said I disagree early on. Have a great night, I am!

I can't really believe that. Why didn't they buy a house. Only need 3% down with FHA /first time buyer. Could easily gotten own place

Slumlords actually suck, Agree completely. Do you think some of these tactics will deter good landlords? Especially those who own smaller multi families? At some point it would be easier to just rent to people you know or family further narrowing the availability of rentals

Bro I literally went through like 80 landlords trying to find someone a place. They had great credit, 20k in savings, worked as a trucker making 80k a year. NO ONE would take the guy because his wife is a stay at home housewife

Or maybe I'm out enjoying my life and don't have the time to explain something to a stranger online

Yeah, it's striking to see other progressive folks center their concerns with safety when we have an epidemic of unhoused folks. Their concerns are not without merit, however, it would have been great if they could have actually placed emphasis and effort into solving the underlying issue, rather than trying to simply get rid of their discomfort by shipping these folks out of their neighborhood. But, alas, the affliction of cognitive dissonance is non-partisan.

Olneyville New York System

is a landlord allowed to get references from previous landlords like employers get references for potential employees? if so, would that abate your concerns?

If you don't like we're you live just move. How is that just not so simple.

Please read this is my personal story! I have tried over and over again to get minimum standards of maintenance at my home since 2017.. 2018 I have been living with a hole in my roof in my bathroom that has no heat and mold.. never repaired.. we have rats.. mold… sewage issues.. literally the house is falling apart.. all he does is raise the rent and not fix anything..

I pay my rent all the time all I ask is for the home to be safe and it’s not and unfortunately because I have gone against this man he has ruined my chances to rent now but black balling me and not giving a new landlord a good reference.

All we want is a safe home not somewhere we feel unsafe and sick and stressed we are trapped and it’s hard…

We want this landlord held accountable and all landlords to be accountable for their homes to listen to their tenants and fix issues and not having us live in conditions that are not safe or healthy!! Please stand with us!!

Arcadia pizza has both on their menu so I guess not? I think the chicken cutlet is more of a traditional toasted “grinder” where as the FCS is on a more of a burger bun-type of bread.

Also the chicken cutlets IME are usually pounded thin where the FCS are not.

NIMBY strikes again

If you cannot explain relatively simply how you would even approach a problem then you don’t understand it enough to truly have a discussion on it. Even more so have a passionate conversation about it. You have to have some idea on the steps required or else it’s all academic, meaning theoretical and not in reality.

It can't be explained in 9 year old terms because the world is far more complex than that. And no, privatization wouldn't happen with anarchy cos there's no private property or corporations to privatize anything

Throughout the whole pandemic local/national media was infested with misinformation. Now everything is coming to the surface. When people brought up simple logic on natural immunity, people got shot down and called crazy and selfish. It's funny how all the people who were hell bent on vaccines and hurting our local small businesses. Now they are afraid to come out and admit and apologize that they let the media control them.

Who builds homes?

I was municipal 911 paramedic and still saw it, so I’m not sure where private came in. In some cases private companies provide the only 911 service due to lack of government resources so that’s what would happen in an anarchical system.

If someone can’t explain to me in simple terms a 9 y/o can understand how this system and it’s problems would be solved effectively, then it has no possibility of becoming reality without force or major natural disaster. People wouldn’t adopt it or understand it, so it has no probability of becoming a reality. So to solve these problem working within the system is necessary.

I made a critical comment on his FB page and he blocked me. I don't listen to his nonsense either.
