Yeah I think this about country-club style exclusion more than anything else.

I don’t understand why state police did not go and find these women on Wednesday. They were at the Irving station in the morning and were already reported missing. They could very well be in a ditch by now with the cold and snow.
The timeline and lack of police involvement here does not make sense.

Some folks don't want affordable housing in their town. They want to keep living there out of reach for most people.

Reply to Seven months has past since the enactment of the single use plastic ban. How many reusable bags do you own? How many of them do you use on a consistent basis? by Eastcoastpal
I have about 6 nice ones from Trader Joe’s I use for groceries. I keep them in the car so they are always ready for shopping. I got 5 flimsier bags that fold up in themselves and wash super easily. Those are for smaller stores and for recycling.
Honestly this hasn’t been a big deal. I don’t miss the piles of plastic bags under my sink— even though I used them for recycling, they multiplied on their own.

Wow, with police escorts? They were Academy buses so maybe that was it.

I grew up in Maine and I wonder about this all the time. I love Sandy Hook bc there isn't the annoying shore stuff (boardwalk, etc.) and I don't mind paying the park fee for it. But I also miss freshwater swimming.
Every lake around here that I know of has private beaches that you need residency passes and memberships to swim in
