Mine took exactly 44.5 days. The paper they gave me said to call if it hadn’t come in 45 days. I assume the paperwork was sitting in a pile for a month before anyone pressed the print button.

You covered everything! I hope you attend public meetings and/or run for local office.

For some people I know they got it in 2 weeks, others 1 week, and others it took months.

It depends on the volume of work and where it is getting mailed as some post offices are slower than others.

Technically the paper one is supposed to count as the license for anything you would need the license for.

This development has a community building - forgot to mention that in the story - and is only a 20-minute walk from downtown, so it has definite community aspects.

Tiny home communities, like any development, can be badly done - that's for sure. It's no panacea.

I'm not sure what you mean by "reinvest in what's already existing" - it's not like New Hampshire is full of empty houses that could be spruced up and reopened. Building new is vital.

What's he looking at? The cheesy tot that fell off the plate?!

"Mmmmmm cheesey tooooott!"

Having worked at both Cannon and Palisades I can say without question Palisades is windier. The funitel was built specifically to handle higher winds than the previous gondola it replaced but it still routinely goes on wind hold during winters like this year where the resort will likely pass 500” of snow this week.

Anyway, most of the development of new lifts takes place in Europe and the 3s gondolas seem to be the latest and greatest for achieving uphill capacity and efficiency. Most people would still call it a team because they couldn’t tell the difference.

Thank you!! I’m going to keep this in my arsenal for when he says “They don’t pay taxes and that’s a huge financial loss for the city” and blah blah blah. I love him, but sometimes he acts like a cranky old man, like those guys in the balcony from The Muppet Show

Yes and no, The investment firms of today are not causing much of a dent of increase and didn't really create this mess they are just exacerbating the issue, same with AirBNB. As you state . But suburban development corporations and business did play a major role in the suburbanization of our zoning regulations as a means of increasing value and securing their investment. A concerned they passed along to new suburbanites that then enshrined these codes into their local planning ordinances. Add to that classism and racism and you get the disinvestment and destruction of our urban environment as a way to cater to the suburbanite communture.

This is more addressing TheTowerBard, Sure a company should be able to pay their employee a livable wage, but if we have structural issue that prevent that, then shouldn't we look at fixing it? Wage fairness is one of these, but the other is land-use, and a third one is transportation, and there's more but like I said before, land use is a very practical and easy one to work at now, one that we have a reasonable chance of changing with enough political will at a local level.

If this company is big enough to get involved in building an apartment building, and now a plot with tiny houses for their employees, they are big enough to pay them a living wage for the community in which they are located. Let’s let that money go back into the local economy instead of back into the company’s bank account.

If they were offering heavily discounted rents to employees we’d be having a different discussion. They don’t seem to be. This is the exact sort of thing that crated those “too big” corporations that are the perfect example you seek.

All I’m saying is that we’ve seen this before, we know how it will play out, and it will benefit the company not the people of that community. So let’s learn from history instead of continually making the same mistakes over and over.

More information on this situation from a different source.

What a way to ruin a meal.

Yeah but that will lead to the next inane question. Where can I get weed? You gotta hand hold these people. There's just so much damn information that's already been shared on this sub from the past few years yet they come on here and ask the same question every fucking time.

He's just a regular fAmiLy MaN

FWIW, my son has an early September birthday. We used to live in MA, where the cutoff was 8/30. One of the advantages of our move to NH was the 9/30 cutoff allowing him to go to K a year sooner.

We were in a very similar situation, where we were very concerned about him being bored and leading to behavior issues. He's doing well in K, though the social stuff is still a work in progress. I'm not sure how much of this is related to going early and how much is because he lost a year of socialization during COVID.

All in all, I'm glad we sent him early, but we agonized over the decision for months and will never really know if it was the right one. There are advantages in both directions. Having the decision out of your hands isn't the worst thing.

Great points grounded in real-world policy and living! Wish you had made half as many posts as TowerBard did...

Sadly, not if you want to live in Seacoast NH.

Actually, they do. Because of how the financing and tax credits were done the city had to transfer ownership to an independent corporation and then lease it back. The tax bills for the past several years can be pulled from the city's web site (the Citizen Service Request section). The assessment's low because of when it was done, but will likely be updated for the next tax year.

What restaurant was this at?

I agree with you that zoning is probably the most practical of the systemic issue that could be used to address affordability. Land use reform touches a lot of areas and can be used to reduce economic burdens that have to do with wage stagnation and rising cost of services, increase transportation costs, and other "capitalistic" pressures. If land is disproportionately expensive in desirable areas due to its access to work,services and the restrictions placed on new development. There's only two ways realistically that you can create housing that has a modicum of affordability. One is government intervention, either directly through things like subsidies or rent controls, etc or more indirectly like supporting community developments like the german "Baugruppen". Or through increasing the efficiency of the property though thing like upping its density, which before exclusionary zoning (direct government intervention through developer lobbying and community pressures) of the 1900s was just part of the natural growth of a city.

Again, not every employer is an example of ruthless corporate takeover. I know you want to righteously rage, and no one is disputing your vision of a fair Ameirca, but not every windmill is The Machine.

YES, bento boxes ftw 🍱

This only sounds like a good idea if you completely ignore the entirety of human history. This isn't a new problem. Folks like you are only looking at this as a good idea now because we are in a crisis, but you all ignored everyone for the last 40 years when they were sounding the alarms. Now that the crisis is here we are looking to the ones who created it for solutions? Hell no.

Take a look at how the people of France react to things when it comes to protecting workers rights.

Jesus fucking christ man, you need to relax
