It's not exactly as you wish unless they've changed things. It's forced hybrid 50/50.

A Hip Joint Downtown! If you call and ask, they can recommend which of their therapists is best at deep tissue.

I don't understand why you're saying this like it's a gotcha. Someone wanting to be nomadic is fine. But that changes literally nothing in terms of building shelters for the people that are homeless due to not being able to afford to survive in this country anymore. I also believe that part of the small group of homeless people that prefers being nomadic prefers it because there's zero point in trying to work 40 hours a week and survive off the low wages in this area with the skyrocketing rent and cost of living. So yeah some people are genuinely happiest being nomadic but let's be honest part of that is because of how incredibly difficult it is to be a "functional member of society" at this point. Shit if I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to squeeze into a spare room with a family member and help them out in return, then I'd have given into my own mental illness and just started living on the streets when I lost my job a few months ago. I would also probably think being homeless was better than when I had housing before in that case. Not having to deal with the stress of paying someone elses mortgage every month, or dealing with some dickhead boss or shitty job to not even have enough pay minimum bills and still buy food. Like yeah of course some people would rather live in a van it's much more feasible than taking part in "normal" society at this point and committing 5 or more days a week to slaving away for someone else.

Supply and demand, if you build more apartments/homes (add supply) it will drive demand down, when that happens a unit will sit empty and a landlord will have to decide if they want to lose money on keeping it unoccupied or rent it cheap to have someone there.

Right, "closed for business" sounds like someone had a vestment in it opening and is salty about it not going through. If Galloways was so spectacular, they could have built it anywhere and still drawn people to it. Location is important but there was probably still plenty of other places that they could have built.

Getting quality entry level, affordable housing, requires money being allocated from the city or state. No one is going to build a house or apartment that loses money for the good of society on their own dime.

Kind of like I wouldn't be willing to buy an extra house, and rent it for less than my loan for it, effectively losing money. A developer just won't develop any new property, entry level, workforce, luxury, etc if they aren't going to make money.

The problem is generally no where is zoned correctly for this type of high density use, and for sale.

Typically when you want to build something of scale (outside of an industrial building in an industrial park) you need a zoning change and/or variances.

Exactly what I said last night when I had a similar conversation. He bought some nicer cars, and Rolex, and a boat.

Like, doing federal fraud (blatantly) for $1mm? Not worth it, too much at stake and too big of losses. $5mm minimum, and you get that out of the US ASAP!

Everyone needs a lawyer, even shitty people. I don't always agree with Councilman McGull but he shouldn't be looked down upon for representing that asshole.

I third it.

Acacia spa. Ask for miles

I go to Grove Spa. Good people and great service.

+1, their massage membership is also good.

Sam at Precision for sure!

That doesn't make any sense. Doesn't the Bible say a man should not lay with another man? Or something like that. Are they kidding themselves?

That whole place is kidding themselves in my opinion actually.

How would you suggest fixing the lack of affordable housing? Typically apartments fill this need. As far as describing them as shoddy construction, what apartments built in springfield in the last 20 years look the way you describe them to be?

Gay people go to JRC too

Chad or Autumn at Acacia Spa

McDonald's has never been a living wage job. Want to earn more money, get a new skill or a better job. Entry level, low skill jobs aren't jobs that can pay a living wage. Force an employer to pay $20 for McDonald's help and they will make machines to do the work instead of paying people with limited skills to do the job. It actually hurts people with a basic / limited skill set.

I'd second this!
