This landlord is being judged without knowing their situation just the same. What if they have another building with people not paying for two plus years?

Used to be 5 generations, times have laxed. It's now 2 generations and you are from here.

Considering I know someone with a rental property that took two and a half years without getting a single payment to get those not paying their rent evicted while trying the legal way to just get them to pay their contracted rent for the house. I'm more inclined to think people that oppose fixing this crazy loophole in letting renters have a huge upper hand are gonna welch on their rent and don't deserve housing to begin with.

Sure it does.

So mining the raw materials has zero impact to the net CO2 ? Because everything to keep a V8 on the road is all tallied into running a V8 for 100000 miles, calculating what batteries put off once created is great and all, but that's not a true measure. Also not to mention the batteries on a Prius are recycled as they used whole material vs plates material. Plating zinc with a tiny bit of cobalt for a lithium battery is what's happening now, when exactly are people gonna recycle for trace amounts of materials? Like we can't even get people on board with recycling bottles and cans that have a deposit on them here in VT never mind the rest of the country that largely does zero recycling.

Not a climate change denier, but I can tell you EV cars being built account for as much pollution to be made as driving a V8 100k miles. Battery tech is still 25 years from being clean enough to make the switch. So all the smug assholes in their Teslas and Rivians can preach all they want, but they are as bad as the guy buying a Ram 3500 gas powered to commute in. Want real change, target gross amounts of gases released including consumer goods, ships, planes, trains, busses, factories worldwide and power generation world wide. Otherwise shut the fuck up and quit stirring the pot.

So making the homeless take food, shelter, life skills/technical training and making them stay sober because they can't seem to figure it out on their own in a centralized location is wrong because other people abused the system before?

That's exactly why we have literal crazy people everywhere now, the aclu pushed for the deregulation of the mental asylum system till it happened in 1976, because the aclu decided it would be better to have no mental healthcare for anyone beyond private, than to install checks and balances in the mental health asylum system where abuse had occurred.

Yes it's a problem, what's your suggestion on dealing with it in real time? Mines already on this thread.

So what's your idea to fix it? I'm all ears, it's not fair to me or anyone else making it work, to have to suffer injustice at the hands of those that won't better themselves. You say that those programs stopped people from the ability to better themselves, I challenge that with less than 10% of those that choose homelessness ever better themselves even briefly even when handed the tools with instructions on how to do so. And it is a choice.

Make being homeless illegal and punishable by being kept drug free and fed/sheltered in a work program in one place where they have to produce something for themselves like food and clothing. I'd be into paying more in tax to fund no more homeless people allowed here period.

Thievery, meth labs, heroin needles strewn about and the massive trash piles they leave everywhere.

Department of public safety search and rescue unit.... Not VSP

Yeah, no matter the location those same people deserve a pit maneuver into an immovable object. Fuck them. Can't even observe common courtesy/obvious communal safety, eat airbag.

Naw, it's not live free, it's live within the feel good laws that do nothing for anyone's life bottom line or quality of life. Useful laws are outside the scope of local government.

People who do this deserve a pit maneuver into the trees sideways.

It's cool, we just actually had a decent conversation here, as opposed to the usual political shit storm every post turns into in a post 2015 world.

Several admitted to being the problem I'm talking about, and why they do it....

I used to hike with a sudanese girl a lot here like hundreds of miles a year, she was always in better shape than me and left VT for Colorado for bigger mountains. While I see less poc here I'd argue percentage wise there are as many people of color that enjoy the outdoors as there are white people like it's still only 5% of white people that get off their ass, the more you hike the more you see the same person in a different corner of the state no matter what color you are. If you want to be outside on a mountain, you will be, not a race thing, a personal motivation thing.

Yeah after days of dry roads and unseasonably warm weather, I did wait till people legitimately should be slowing down to mention it, but it is a fair weather issue I'm talking about even mid July this was happening.

Deserves to have his driving privilege suspended till he figures it out

Lol that's why the weed Rd sign in Jericho is 25' up a pole.

I'm born and raised here. This is a new thing.

Best comment yet.

Fair. I don't think my desire to drive the speed limit as a general flow of traffic is unreasonable though, I admittedly am one of the ones going 20 over when I don't have traffic holding me back though.

I grew up here and now at 40, it seems to be new to me, but I also don't know about it really being old timers as it's in 8am work flow traffic I see it all the worst
