That wasn’t a complaint. That was a question from someone seeking medical treatment with cannabis asking where they can go to not trigger their condition.

Now saying: I really hate all these rec users taking up the line at my dispensary and idiots on Reddit that failed reading comprehension. That’s a complaint learn the difference.

I think it's valid to bring up.

I'm all for the legalization but think education is also important.

I also understand those that are pro-legalization have been arguing against the "harmful effects" for so long that some feel there aren't any harmful effects. It's nowhere near the level that's been spewed to us for decades, but there is potential harm in smoking or undesired effects, and anyone that intentionally (or unintentionally) intoxicates another animal or non-consenting human I would consider cruel behavior.

Not on weekends necessarily, just special a special pop up menu. They've only done it once, a couple weeks ago on a Thursday, but I've heard rumor there are more smash burger nights in the works. They're good at posting their specials on instagram, so keep an eye out there.

I went last time right as they sold out, so didn't get one, but they looked and smelled amazing.

> That isn’t going to help the housing crisis

What housing crisis? In the last 10 years, Springfield has increased the number of housing units 7.5% while the population has risen just 6.5%. And many of those new housing units are multiple bedroom units.

The 'crisis' you might be feeling is one that revolves around our currency. You guys didn't like hearing it when the money was being passed out during covid and many still refuse to believe it. But creating 40% more currency out of thin air in less than 2 years is going to cause problems. Which you are feeling now in the form of higher rent. I sure wish economics were stressed more in school, as many people seem completely ignorant.

edit: ah the old ostrich downovtes without a logical response. Nice.

Me and many others do use NIMBY as insult. They are a group of property owners with way too much free time that they can use to go yell at city counsel meetings because they’re scared to see their neighborhood change (the poor or POC moving in) or a negative affect on their investment. It’s the exact kind of mindset that’s only going to keep getting single family homes built. That isn’t going to help the housing crisis. I don’t need single family home. I need a studio apartment which is hard to find in the Springfield area for a reasonable rate. We need more density and less sprawl for many reasons. Nimbyism and it’s effects are one of the biggest drivers of the housing crisis

are they building a walmart here? get out of here with your strawman nonsense.

its a small apartment complex, single family homes for purchase, and a small park on an otherwise untaxed piece of church realestate.

this will help the housing shortage and bring revenue to the city so we can invest in Your neighborhood.
