I personally use Zelaya Tax in Packville. Its a small family shop but run by a lawyer and very good; I usually stop by and 20 mins later fed and state are filed and done with.

Thankfully some of us are working on ending homelessness and not just renaming it.

Everything I've read about the homeless problem lends toward it being extremely complicated. There are tons of reasons why people are homeless. There are tons of reasons why people may not be seeking help. There are tons of different services these people will need help with. Nothing is straightforward and like you said, a one size fits all approach is going to be exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, to implement.

Yet, there are plenty of people here who seem to think that the answer is simple. Just force these rich Texans who are gobbling up near-Ukraine warzone level townhomes to sell so we can slap some pinterest gray on the walls and put homeless people in them. Just conveniently ignore the myriad of mental health issues, lack of reliable transportation, them being sitting ducks for criminals, food deserts, etc. None of that is relevant, the answer is soooo simple and has a very convenient boogeyman that can be pointed at.

Hell yea legends and culture Caribbean are the shit, I’m at legends like 3 times a week lol Edit: for the chicken not the percs lmfao

Can you guys put the leaves back on the trees in my neighborhood next?

Yup, definitely noticed it over the last couple weeks (Mt Vernon area).

I have liked working with G-Wisz It’s Tax Time, my taxes got very complicated in 2021 due to selling two properties, one of them a rental, and a couple of other things and George worked hard to make sure everything was all proper and did much better than the software options. https://www.gwisztax.com/

Some day I want to see all these people that suggest we do something with vacant housing try to rehab one and make it livable for human beings, let’s just see how it plays out and how much it ends up costing.

Yep. Also, the Point in Time count doesn’t even include everyone who meets the definition of “homelessness”. Including people whose living situation is unstable (couchsurfing, staying with family, etc.) or staying in a single room occupancy arrangement (those room rental situations really suck). It’s hard to determine how many people are in those situations, but important to acknowledge, they need access to resources too. “Housing” is the bare minimum, people need agency and some kind of quality of life.

Cycling is also an option. You can cross over 83 at Chase or under 83 and center st. You're in a protected bike lane most of the way.

Yeah, that's just carpooling.

Like I said, you need an argument, not just your feelings about words.

...ok?

Complaining about "wokeness" is an instant admission that you have no idea what wokeness is or what it means. If you're asserting that it's bad to notice inequality and injustice, that would imply you're on the side of inequality and injustice. I think that's a pretty stupid thing to do.

The only thing I have an issue with is explaining why you'd want to use accurate or less hostile words, and then saying, in effect, that it's annoying to do so. It just undercuts the whole argument.

Let me know when you're ready to say anything about why they're ridiculous, then.

Conceding to the other side's ridiculous points undercuts the argument.

I always laugh when people complain about how “complicated” taxes are. You can find free to dirt cheap software that does it for you, walks you through each item, and submits for you. 99.9% of people have simple taxes.
