Nah. Usually it’s the churches. Oh wait, they’re profiteers too…

Are you new to Springfield? That's how the whole town is.

if they're out of stock locally, you can get them from flags for good. I got mine from them and it's a great flag

Place is super good.

One of the cooks there is on this subreddit.

Will do, thank you!

All pet supplies had some guy who would make some and they'd sell them there...maybe ask if the one you're looking at is the locally made one to be sure

True. I’m not going to argue against that. I’m just surprised we were so willing to follow the plans of a few profiteers

The old flag was absolute trash. It looked like a 2nd grader made it in MS Paint.

Sweet, thanks

Thanks!!

Yeah, if you had a realtor or lawyer representing you in this purchase, u/LeeOblivious is very correct. That's a huge no-no for anyone involved in the process, and can't believe the Title Co didn't pick up the slack either.

One of those documents you signed said you agreed to a list of provided HOA rules. There's a chance you didn't see them in the pile of papers that you initialed?

Now, past that - HOA's can be annoying, and they can be a godsend. I know the overwhelming response is "Never be in an HOA!" I've been in them, I've been outside of them, there are pros and cons to each. Inside an HOA, I was told I couldn't build a brick mailbox considerably nicer than the requirements, because it had to match the others. Outside an HOA, I had a neighbor who let his family member live in a 6 foot utility trailer on the front lawn for years, and seemed to not have a septic tank for their house - a waste pipe just ran into the woods out back.

I would check with Ozark Flags on West Battlefield Road, just west of Burger King.

Just go to the people who insisted we adopt a new flag. Of course they already had a business plan outlined for how to profit on adopting the new likeness

Word? Respect then. That sounds like hell to prep.

Yes I get it! I wasn’t trying to bitch I just have extreme anxiety and worry about everything! We moved the trailer this morning because like I said it wasn’t a big deal

Idk if they do the same thing, but just about everywhere uses frozen onion rings in my experience. It just isn't feasible to make onion rings to order in most applications

That’s our question because the people we became friends with actually tore down their connecting fences so they could hang, but they rent their homes and not own. But no it’s not a privacy fence it’s just a chain link. I’m sure it’s from one of the older women across the street

I see you have a lot of questions. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to answer them. It seems, however, you may be interested in finding them and you're not arguing in bad faith. If that's the case, I'd search for those answers from someone more knowledgeable than myself. Most of your questions are "who pays for it" and the answer is simple: we all do. We are already (most of us) paying for housing. What if we took away the investment aspect of it? Prices drop.

It shouldn't be a commodity and it should be a human right to be housed.

The other questions are about what to do with all the other properties. Well, I'm not sure. But, if you own the home you're living in then nothing should change. If you own 500 homes, then too bad.

I love how long this response is without answering the question.

It cost me 10k to replace my HVAC. Let that sink in. That was why I avoided buying a home for years. Who shoulders that cost in your utopia?

I really want to know how the logistics of building an equitable free housing market. Because these are the issuea i came up with in about 5 minutes of thought.

Is maintenance covered in the cost of housing in your world?

Who gets the really nice house's? Is there some sort of lottery were unlucky people get shit? Or are we just talking about building Cabrini Green everywhere.

What happens to all of the existing rental properties? Do we buy them or just steal them from owners?

How do you deal with places like California where the citizens vote time and time again to stop multi home structure construction. The housing market there is garbage because the people won't allow apartments to be built.

Who gets Free housing? Do you have to qualify?

What happens to Airbnb?

I suspect this is why the most progressive countries in the world haven't adopted this concept. It's far better to regulate the rental business. The US does this poorly. Take more control and give it to the renters. Make sure that certain protections are enforced by law. Making it impossible for slumlords to profit or exist.

Also a basic income for those who need it would help retain the power of choice.

My brother and his roommate used to live there. It's not the nicest, but it will do the trick. I've been outside in that area at night quite a bit and have never felt endangered or uncomfortable.
