$1200 a month for a tiny home ?? Seems kind of expensive ,no?

That’s where Alec’s shoe store used to be back in the day ☺️

> If you showed me this and said guess the NH town I would not assume Nashua

I would have thought the big glowing blue "NASHUA" would be a giveaway.

Not now, no, but they will eventually. And one of the most successful electric vehicles out there in terms of selling out its production for years to come is the F-150 Lightning, which is both electric and a larger chassis. But an average Tesla sedan is about the same weight as a standard F-150.

But as another comment here pointed out, most of the wear and tear still comes from heavy loads, 18 wheelers, etc.

Edit: my overall point was that you can't expand these things endlessly with our current funding model for upkeep of the networks they rely on (power or roads). For me, the fix is changing how we fund those networks rather than simply blaming the new tech abstractly. Heck I'd be down for a large gas tax increase + a registration fee for EVs that offset each other, so gas still pays for more of the maintenance as a method of discouraging further use of ICE cars.

Well, have you seen it out of the city…?

NIMBYs

Ski the whites coffee in noco is very very good

You're welcome. Happy to help lol

Looks fine to me. And it’s not that god awful staggered shipping container look I’ve seen in various cities as of late. Win win.

Dover Children’s Museum. There’s a toy store and a candy store across the street. Attitude trampoline park in Concord. Cowabunga's in Manchester.

< 600 sq ft houses being touted as "affordable" when they're anticipated to go for 1200/month seems like the perfect picture of what's gone wrong here. I'll avoid calling this a company town since it's not explicitly housing built for one specific employer -- but the employer's big motivation is having housing for their workforce. Glassdoor says the assisted living facility in the article pays 14-16 an hour. If we naively call it an average of 15 an hour, you're taking home $913 every two weeks. 613/month does not seem like a lot to pay for the rest of living, especially when you consider that these houses are meant to largely be starter places for young people. It feels extra fucked if you frame it in light of your employer saying "hey live in this house I built and work for me. Here's your pay check, I'll have 2/3 of it back now"

March, in like a Lion, out like a lamb.

Far better skiing?? Not really

Ah, that would make sense. No complaints if that's the case.

I don't exactly remember how this was funded but I feel like I read there was a large private donation that made it happen. I don't think it pulled out of the general city budget pool of money.

There is a great liquor store on the traffic circle in Portsmouth. I suggest the zhenka vodka.

In MA they have some incentives as well, ROI even with an established company is still well within reasonable timeframe based on the quotes we received. We’ll see about in-use performance tho.

Minors are asked to provide them to the chaperones, who in turn provide them to the front desk manager to be locked in a safe. Clearly the "safe" part didn't happen here.

Nope it’s not the job of employers to keep up with the price of house. It an employers’ need to pay enough to keep employees people decide to to work for someone because the amount they are offering to pay is not enough to live on. The employer needs to up their offering if they want to have employees.

It’s not the employers job to keep up with housing. A coffee is a coffee and prices tend to be pretty uniform between different cost of living areas.

Voters could solve housing by voting/pushing for denser housing. However when push comes to shove even people who own homes and complain about the cost of housing often vote against it because it might negatively impact their housing values.

Zoning is used to protect/inflate home values of the haves. The article even touches on that where it would cost $13,000 extra in fees to add a more normal sized unit.

Read the story, it has details.

exactly, the top end of their pay scale for positions other than building their future profit makers is around $45,000 a year on a FT schedule. Oops, sorry, after looking again they only offer 35hr a week PT work.

No, because there's going to be a TON of lawsuits following this debacle. That's why.

Granite State Lunchbox

Agreed this is the most likely scenario.
