It's probably cleaner in various open places, and certainly cleaner than the public water supply when it's falling directly from the sky into a cistern. However, I wouldn't trust any rainwater for my own drinking water in a metropolitan area because there's so much garbage in the air now. The toxins from vaping and cigarettes, for example. I want that filtered out.

It was clearly bought as an investment, and for what the previous owners were asking ($1.65 million) I am totally fine with that. As long as the neighbors are cool with whatever happens next and everyone acts like adults then I’m sure…what’s that…oh god…https://www.kgw.com/amp/article/news/local/north-coast/goonies-house-neighbor-banner-astoria/283-ae47c179-14f3-444c-afd8-35f2c8bb787c

too late for us. at one point we were told we'd have to drive 2.5 hours to another VA clinic because our local one wasn't accepting anymore new patients.

my husband died by suicide in 2015.

Idk why this myth is pervasive. Recruiters do not “love” low income neighborhoods and schools. The overlap of “downsides of poverty” and “things that will disqualify recruits” is almost a complete circle. Health issues exacerbated to chronic conditions because of poor health care, poor fitness and weight issues, increased rate of criminal records, lowered rate of high school graduation, scoring poorly on the entrance test, etc etc. All disqualifying.

US military recruits are underrepresented in regards to the poorest and richest percentiles, and overrepresented by the middle class.

Lol! This retort of your lot got old long time ago. By education means you want people to believe your apartheid state is not stealing land, illegal settlements, abusing or killing Natives? I don't think most of the world wants to be educated in that propaganda of yours. You're the one who desperately needs to be educated and stop covering up or justifying human rights violations of Israel.
