It was a terrible transition yes, but for every legitimate person in need of a facility like that, there were 100 that needed a different treatment / care plan. And let’s not get started on how horrifically they were run, or the egregious abuse (don’t look inside)of so so many patients at those facilities, or the experimentation completed on people without consent. A look back on asylums.

Yes because Republicans are the only party that ever gerrymanders once they have power. /s

In other news: Mr Puzza in Gorham is closed, looks like due to construction. When it Re opens, will it be Me Puzza, or something else?

What are y’all gonna cry about once it’s legalized?

Pretty fukn dumb that NH hasn’t legalized it. One can argue a state like Maine has just as many or more freedoms as the ‘Live Free or Die’ state

It always cracks me up that we're this deep into a housing shortage and people are still this out of touch about housing prices.

Yes, $1200/m is about how much a 600 new sqft would go for, especially as they're separated homes, not combined apartments. I pay more for a teeny old 1BR apt in Manch.

The only way these prices are going down is by building more housing. I don't care who does it, just happy to see more becoming available.

You can thank Reagan for doing away with those facilities and jdumping everyone out on the street with no programs to support the transition for those for whom it might be possible or other arrangements/facilities for those for whom it wasn’t. At the same time the severely physically disabled, including those with profound developmental issues were also dumped, including those who couldn’t and would never be able to fend for themselves and had physical disabilities that required specialized care.

You're guaranteed some bangs and bucking, that's for sure. Even when they do strip and repave, it's amazing how fast they get chewed up again.

Those passports were either stolen or sold

Nor would they have retaken the House at the federal level.

We have one left for adults and it has fewer beds than ever.

Hear hear, nothing more to be said about it really. It’s a mandate without a mechanism.

Mine did too!

The crisis teams are really designed to just move the people along I’m sure of this. I’ve watched them do it too many times to believe anything else

I hope you’re right. We have a kid who’s needed to stay in the ED a few times and it’s a relief to know that’s there because aside from that he comes home to where we can’t always handle him. We need more help but the help is not there

Yeah I'm very interested in this as well! It's consistently not been too keen on this inverted trough taking shape & lingering, which is more or less half the puzzle to getting these bursts of snow going.

Sununu is not popular amount younger voters and reddit in general is more progressive. The majority of NH under 50 is represented here. Sununu has been consistently losing more and more support over the past few years

Also a 5 day old troll account from a salty MA transplant bitching about NH voters....classy haha

This is scary. These are people who have not had a mental health crisis in their home with a child or loved one and don’t understand how important it is these people have somewhere even if it is an er bed to stay safe. Not ideal but better than sent back home. Manchester has a huge problem I’ve seen first hand and unfortunately for the people what need somewhere to place someone they’re put in impossible situations.

Eh, it seems pretty minor. Got plenty of wood and soup.

16 bums is a generous ratio. My friend works night shifts at various nursing homes here in the state as a travel lna and sometimes it's two lnas for 30-50 people

How are people going to be able to pay for housing on a nursing home salary? I've worked in nursing homes and quite frankly the pay sucks

See above for some of my thoughts, I remain humbled 🫡
