Nothing low key about what you said.

You picked the most diverse area in Springfield (downtown) and said it was not suitable for businesses because it needs to be cleaned up.

It is normal to not recognize your own internalized racism.

You should be demanding that businesses move to areas with a majority minority population instead of finding excuses why they shouldn't.

>You would really need to clean Springfield up a bit. I really don’t see that happening with that low class casino in the middle of downtown.

Why did you pick the most diverse area in Springfield to deny the thought of the state incentivizing businesses moving there?

Well, that is aggressive and not helpful to any discussion to the subject at hand.

>The real issue is a 1950s concept of endless growth economy in concentrated spots > >The call for housing is laughable and won’t do shit but sure keep screeching for your useless bandaid bc it makes you feel good

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment, but I have never understood why the state doesn't incentivize businesses to move outside of 495.

Make Worcester/Springfield a desirable destination for businesses. The housing market would definitely cool down if the state made other cities viable.

I upvoted the post because I want people to see it.

In this sub, that is not how it works. People downvoted a missing child post because of who posted it.

It is 100% group think here.

How is mass save funded?

Prices for the material have doubled and sometimes tripled since 2020.

Inflation went through the roof.

Minimum wage is now sitting at $15 an hour. Skilled trade wages went up because of that.

Code changes and new regulations have made things much more expensive.

A quote being double what it was 3 years ago is normal.

Lol. I think it might be time for you to get off the internet, go outside, and enjoy life.

Who stated you wouldn't have to pay for firepeople or librarians?

All Healthcare workers work for free in England? TIL.

I guess education isn't always a good measurement for intelligence.

>Right. So the people leaving are the poorly educated Trumpers who lack the job skills to afford the housing.

So you make a statement like that and think you are the educated one? Lmao

What would that be?

Public employees shouldn't be able to unionize. Public unions should not exist.

Edit - I am not going to respond to every ridiculous comment on my post.

If it is a safety issue, call OSHA. There is no need for a union.

If it is about compensation, put forth legislation to fund a pay raise. There is no need for a union.

A public employee using the government boot to step on the necks of the taxpayers until they get better individual compensation is a selfish tactic.

So you are teaching intolerance at home and wondering why people outside of your home object to your intolerance?

People of the Christian and Jewish faith do not use the Lord's name in vain, which it what you at teaching at home.

If your child's teacher was Muslim, would you allow your child to draw a picture of Mohammed for that teacher or in the classroom?

The state does not have your best interest at heart. You are just a means to redistribute wealth into the system. Lottery is just a glimpse into this system. There are many avenues that are disguised better.

We have failed to educate ourselves.

This is a beautiful picture of the reason why global warming is killing us all.

What is the protest about?

The 5 people that killed Tyre are going to jail for life.

>I'm totally in support of stricter gun laws, but right now what you're saying simply isn't true.

What I am saying is 100% true.

>I have a MA LTC but not an FFL and it's perfectly legal for my to transport, or even carry on my person, my personal handgun(s) to/in other states. Not all other states; CT for example is very strict about non-residents carrying guns. Whereas NH or VT (I believe) it would be perfectly fine to go up for a range day with a buddy.

Yes, states that have constitutional carry or recognize MA LTC, you can possess your forearms in that state. You can CCW in a constitutional carry state.

You can not however, purchase or a handgun in another state and bring it back to your sate. You can not transfer a handgun and bring it back to your state. That is all illegal at a federal level. It must go through an FFL.

MA does not recognize any other state firearm license. A person from another state is not allow to carry a firearm in this state unless they possess a non-resident license.

The person I responded to stated that 90% of all firearm involved in a shooting came from a different state. This situation is highly regulated at the Federal level and the state level. The only way OP's statement is true is if those handguns went through a MA FFL.

If those handguns did not go through a FFL, the gun laws did not work.

Criminals are crazy

>The great majority of guns used for homicide in Massachusetts come from out of state, like 90%. So yes, gun laws work.

Which is highly illegal. You can not purchase or transport a handgun across state lines. It has to go through a valid FFL. This is illegal at a federal level.

Black mold is a danger to the environment. The public should have to pay to get that removed from my private property. No?

I have. I have always paid a fee to dispose of my trash.

This is a stupid argument. That fire puts others in danger.

My house leaks water. That water creates black mold. Should the public have to pay to have that drywall removed and disposed of?
