Please do.

In the long run, perhaps. In the short term, any burden the pose on the community has to be absorbed by the community. The new arrivals wouldn't have even started paying property tax yet. And even when they do, any costs associated with them will take years to collect via property tax.

There's a selling point. Building housing won't make it more expensive here because no one wants to live here. Except.. they do, that's why there's a shortage.

Next.

Why do urban areas want to increase density? What are the more distant areas doing to compensate the urban areas for their sacrifice? Dense living isn't better living. Maybe for some folks, but not for many. That's not a house and a yard and a family and all that. You may look down upon "car dependent" living, but it led to people being able to have that house and yard. It's not a coincidence that people fled the cities once cars became readily available. People didn't want to live that way.

Hey there! No, I really don’t believe that a trans kid is running around bullying cis kids. My kid is at the middle school, and has a couple of trans friends. They are all bullied. If I had to guess, I’m inclined to think the trans kid crossed paths with one of their bullies, and some words were exchanged, and the trans kiddo had enough and stood up for themselves.

But I’m trying to approach it as objectively as possible, which is hard to do in general, and even harder once we notice the trend of this family firing off these allegations with minimal details, and only in the school year following a failed political run.

I’d love to see the data comparing the percentage of trans kids bullying cis kids, and cis kids bullying cis kids in bathrooms at the district. Pretty sure cis kids harm cis kids way more than trans kids are harming cis kids.

Dude people are pieces of shit, fuck theifs man smh.

Big difference. They’ll collect on this forever, and no one owns these except for them.

But no line.

Increasing density is not going to increase the tax rate. Denser housing is more efficient and results in lower taxes per person.

Building more housing isn't going to make housing more expensive. Boston is expensive because lots of people want to live there relative to the supply of housing that allows them to do that.

Not the trails. The parking lot, surrounding parking lots, empty lots, and low density buildings like the Family Dollar.

Dover has a rail and bus connected riverfront downtown close to all kinds of desirable destinations that few people can actually live in because half the space is dedicated to storing cars. It could easily be the premier walkable city in the state.

I never had a sex ed teacher discuss the sex or sexuality of one of the students.

That’s pretty messed up if yours did.

Or take the obvious and sensible option of simply allowing our already built spaces to increase in density. NH is full of urban areas that could easily add huge amounts of new housing by simply removing the regulations that prevent it and de-prioritizing car infrastructure.

The sprawl is being driven by the fact that it's the only viable option to add housing in most of the state. Developers fell an acre of trees to drop in a shitty looking car dependent house because just building an extra floor and some stairs anywhere is illegal.

I mean they do teach sex Ed.....so sometimes they kinda have to

That's guaranteed to cause unintended consequences.

For anyone that's curious:

Call your state reps and have them vote for HB 44

Just curious, what do you consider cramped for a single person? Not looking at families here. I've gone through a range of apartments (from 400 to 1200sqft). The 400 was a bit small but my current 700 is fine

Stealing.

That was covered..

"we're either forced to live in cramped, overpriced apartments, or have at least 3 to 4 different incomes to help afford all of the expenses of owning your own home"

I haven't yet seen a floorplan for new apartments that I'd call underpriced or spacious. Although I guess you could argue that cramped is kind of a defining attribute of an apartment.

Or option three, of building more apartments

Anyone remember the trough urinal at the old Foxboro Stadium? My God that was traumatic as an early teenager.

Considering nothing happened, there is no victim not being believed.

Meanwhile, no one just blanket says "believe victims" with no context related to what they were supposedly victimized by. "Believe victims" is in the context of sexual assault; is the claim that the person was sexually assaulted?

I'm also not a person that has ever claimed that anyone claiming to be a victim should be automatically believed, especially if that person has a compelling reason to lie. In this case, the person has a reason to back their brain-dead degenerate parents' play.

The sensible middle-ground to your construct is "Seriously investigate claims, but in the absence of evidence, consider the source". I'm not going to abandon all reason because of some weird set of rules invented on Twitter.

Good point. I’ve always thought it was bizarre to go to the bathroom with other people, regardless of gender.
