From what I understand, I’ve read some things where Sununu is actually for legalization. But he wants a set up like the state liquor stores. And in order for that to happen, weed would have to be legal on a federal level. This way the state would receive all the profits from selling weed.

Is it a full basement all the way or just under the addition? This one seems obvious to me. The skirting and single door on the side, the back roof line. Also 5 beds and 1 bath? Ooof.

Shouldn't that be disclosed in the listing that it is land leased? Wow it's crazy that's blatant lie. A condo and a land leased house is very different

I frequent a few dispensaries in Maine and the parking lots are always like 80% new Hampshire license plates

Go to the assessors webpage. Valuation will list land value and building value. In this case it only lists the building. It does not list anything under land. The above house is listed as a condo.

I have never tried cannabis, and I have no interest, and have no intention of ever trying it. My neighbors are regular users, and they get their supplies from Massachusetts.

So taking things from a pragmatic perspective, I just hate to see a potential revenue stream go to Massachusetts instead of New Hampshire.

Op you seem like a good person I'm happy to know people like you work with kids in need. No question just thank you for what you do

Sorry guys I know I probobly sound crazy it's just so Infuriating. Im reading the story thinking "woah, cool maybe NH will actually do it this time" but sure enough that same police chief from Bedford is like right there waving his fist saying how bad legalization would be for society. Coming from a literal 80 year old who was born during the fuckin Triassic period. Of course he thinks cannabis is the spawn of Satan that's how they were all brainwashed in the 60s & 70s so the government would have a reason to arrest poverty stricken minorities. There's nothing wrong with cannabis, it's not dangerous it's not a threat to public safety. These old timers are just blowing steam out of there asses because it's all they've ever known. Maybe the thought of legalizing pot really does scare them because they genuinely think it's a bad drug, even though literally 20 states have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use and seen virtually 0 increase in crime or addiction rates. The proof is there, Sununu and his State reps just don't want to admit it

I just wonder all the mobile homes turned into single family home, how long they are going to last and also if they have properly insulation for the cold weather, and also whether the electrical wiring are done properly. A lot of fixes are only domestic (which is the least expensive things to fix) and they didn't fix the expensive stuff

How do you know they don’t own the land? Does it say it in the listing?

If that’s manufactured it’s news to everyone because the town has it listed as a traditional single family home too. I also said as a general rule, not as a 100% sure fire way to differentiate.

I know the amazing human of whom you speak. She's a miracle!

Well it Definitely has nothing to do with safety haha that's for damn sure

Manchester PD often fail to respond to DCYF. When they are called to assist they often ask if DCYF could please postpone the emergency. Often they don't show up at all. When they do, they make the situation way more traumatic than necessary.

The worst of MPD, though, is that they don't investigate child crimes if they don't think there's a win in it. I had a group of kids telling everyone super detailed stuff about what was done to them, but because they were very young, MPD refused to even interview them. Literally allowing child sex traffickers to wander loose. And giving these poor kids the impression that no one cares about what was done to them. They don't even bother to start collecting evidence if they think it won't get through to a conviction.

DCYF is 90% women.

Drugs magically disappearing would only change caseloads by 5%, maybe 10%-- eveb though well over half of cases involve substances in some way. People who use drugs to the extent that leads to their children being removed are using substances to escape serious trauma or mental health issues. Without drugs, they'd find another way to try to control their mind and environment that wouldn't be good for kids.

Once there was a case where I knew I had an acquaintance in common with a parent. I told my supervisor and got a different case instead. I didn't know them at all but it could have still been a conflict of interest.

Thank you. My mom had some shit like abandonment of her kids at times and a semi legal kidnapping so... yeah never mind the other shit. From my past good luck to you and your colleagues breaking through that brainwashing. And God damn does the north country need some more mental health accessibility.

A couple of paragraph breaks will make this look like less of an unhinged rant.

They haven't figured out they can make the most money from it yet. It has nothing to do with safety or the rights of the people.

I recently came across one that has a concrete foundation and basement. It is listed as a single family home, but then when I asked the realtor she told me only manufactured home lenders would work because it is actually a home modified from manufactured home. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/32-Lisa-Avenue-Raymond-NH-03077/86789789_zpid

They're not always wrong. But if you're doing things shitty enough that you need to scare your kid into not telling, how are you so sure your home is better?

Foster care is only for the most extreme of cases. And I never met a worker who didn't have the best of intentions and try their hardest. Why scare kids over something they probably won't ever have to worry about?

Regardless, the system does NOT want to take your kids. Ever. The system doesn't have a grudge against anyone (unless you keep having and losing kids over and over. Then we hate you.) The system does not want the strain, the workers do not want the paperwork or the late night or the court dates or the new case, the foster parents aren't making any money.... there is absolutely no motivation for anyone to "steal" your child.

That's not a manufactured home

Yeah, that’s just a ranch it’s not manufactured. Quickest way to differentiate is as a general rule, ranches have a clear concrete foundation and a basement and manufactured will have neither of those.

The property has a chunk of land, basement, and existing utilities. Decent location. That house fits, technically, but I’d hard pass it.

Live free or die?

Sometimes! Intake is really good at screening out the custody battle stuff and the revenge neighbor stuff. But I had one guy whose landlord kept accusing him of really serious stuff, but was just out to get him. That he was brandishing a weapon, screaming obscenities at the kids, passing out in the hall. When in reality the landlord had purposely brought in his own friends who were the ones who were actually passing out and screaming. They couldn't screen it out because the allegations were so serious. But every time I showed up at his door, it was never his fault. We had some good laughs. Especially after he won against his LL in small claims for stealing all his covid relief money.
