I kinda see why this shouldn’t be a big issue and also see why it could be. The school I went to in high school (obviously not here in the US) had us taste different wines and liquors to be able to work with them as part of our food technology class. Under proper supervision it really shouldn’t be a problem. we just saw it as an ingredient.

But I also see the hesitation on this. It’s avoiding lawsuits. If one of the students ends up with an alcohol-related crime or injury (even outside the school) parents will definitely find a way to blame the school for it (my kid never drank before they took this class, etc)

It’s such a shame because in the article the senator who is opposed to this already knows that his son - the human being he raised - is too irresponsible to follow rules.

The bill seeks to assist with new technologies that make new housing more affordable, including the 3D printing of homes. Mandalorian here - This is the Way. 3D printing, especially as it continues to evolve, is 100% the solution. Homes built more cheaply, faster and more sustainably is the only way to attack the housing crisis. Please look into it; they've already started in Maine and Texas. It will be mainstream in the next five years. New Hampshire needs to get onboard quickly and not be left behind like we are with solar.

The reason to email Senator Bradley is that - my opinion - if he supports the legislation, it passes. With a Republican House, Senate and Governor, the Senate President is uniquely positioned to influence most bills. Writing your own reps and signing in online in support should be done as well.

Asking for 87K friends, can you tell me (read: us) how to sign in online?

Thanks!

The cost to construct these is not much more than an apartment complex. At this time it costs anywhere from $200k to $250k a unit to build an apartment and I’ve seen budgets that go as high as $300k a unit. That’s one reason rent is so high. Well that and Dover NH taxes are prohibitively high.

Some of this shit is just useless meetings with townspeople that don't want something to happen in their backyard. I remember when eversource wanted to run a cable across great bay and you'd think they were trying to open a puppy slaughtering mill. That was the point I understood why simple projects cost tens of millions of dollars... Endless meetings with lawyers and engineers billed at $500 per hour.

Well if they can own the land the building is on, instead of owning the building and renting the land, that alone would make a big difference.

Edit skipped MSN and went straight to WMUR, they're basically apartments.

> The homes are built to be affordable and will stay affordable for the Dover workforce community, the Randolphs said. They said they agreed to, at a minimum, meet the Housing and Urban Development fair market rental rate, so they expect rent to range between $1,000 and $1,232 pe month.
