We'll see. Citizen's petition on the warrant to continue the ability to drive through it. Voters last year chose to close vehicular access from the south side and allow vehicular traffic from the north to the gazebo. There, one would be able to turn around and park. The petition that's on next Tuesday's ballot would allow one-way traffic through the whole parkway running south to north.

Yeah, it's an imbroglio.

As far as I can tell they aren't selling. I went to the site - for amusement purposes - literally, minutes after it went live and there are/were "SOLD OUT" buttons all over it. Click on the button and it brings you back to exactly where you were, the home page. Then read all the fine print about "sold out". It's flipping hilarious. Then, of course, read all the disclaimers about the lack of value of the NFTs and the "alternate prizes". Trump may make some money off this new(est) scam but his primary opponents (if he makes it that far) are going to beat him like a gong with this stunt.

Get your popcorn ready.

>Deal with it.

As far as I can tell, Portsmouth is trying to deal with it. The mayor is a staunch affordable housing proponent and, while politicians can only encourage and support legislation that encourages such change, he certainly seems to focus efforts on the problem. Portsmouth did recently open the Ruth Lewin Griffin workforce housing project, which boasts 64 below market rental units in the downtown and created a Housing Committee whose edict is to address the lack of affordable housing in the community. Further, town staff and board members are encouraging the creation of ADUs, which could have a positive effect on affordability in the city.

Just sayin'.

You have my condolences. This is happening everywhere. In one day I had a friend of mine say her friend that was living in a condo-ed building (four story mostly 2 bedroom units) and that her lease was coming up. Investors have been buying condos for rental income all over this area. My friend's friend said that her unit just sold and the new owner was doubling the rent. That same day a realtor friend of mine stopped in, elated, as she had recently sold several properties, including the same unit. My friend's friend, the renter, said she will probably have to stay as there are waiting lists on every rental property in our community. On top of that - I live in a very vibrant town on the NH seacoast but am originally from VT - our restaurants and retail shops, which are popular, can't find workers. Why? Because they can't afford to live anywhere near our town. This situation, like yours, is not sustainable.
