Geeze imagine if Bangor and Portland said “Sorry you can’t be homeless, unless you were a resident before you went homeless.”

Why gatekeep warming shelters?

I know if the Lincoln PD found someone homeless downtown they would spend the 2 hours of Lincoln taxpayer money to drop them off on Kenduskeag Ave in Bangor.

How will they know if someone doesn't have ID on them?

Oh my gosh this is hilarious. I lived in Lincoln my entire life and why have I never thought to call someone a Lee-tard???

How do they even check to see if you're a resident? Are they scanning ID's and driver's licenses at the door or something? And if so, what if you don't have either one? Do you get given a "fuck you lawl bye bitch" and cruelly turned away?

Say it isn't so. Say the town that proudly has "FUCK BIDEN" flags flying on the main drag all summer long isn't well put together. Tell me the insecurities of the little men in that town aren't going to cause them to be uncouth to yet another person.

The long-smelled stench of Lincoln was never that of a mill; it was the soul of the town itself.

Lincoln has lots of old people and i'm sure had to put restrictions to insure there is even enough capacity to house all residents that might need it.
