Is that true - lowest premiums?

Nonetheless, you should assume that any unsourced collection of "interesting facts" is total BS clickbait until proven otherwise.

The default is that they're crap. The default is almost always correct.

Kidderville is just a village in Colebrook - it doesn't have laws of its own.

Colebrook was a starch manufacturing hub (from potatoes) in the 1880s or so so maybe it had some laundry-related ordinances.

But in general, maps of "interesting facts" found online are complete and utter hogwash.

just a reminder that this isn't traditional "company housing" linked to employment. I realize it's fun to imagine worst-case scenarios but they don't apply here

Why do you assume they'll be taken up by transplants, any more than any other type of apartment or housing?

It's certainly true that more affordable homes are needed for purchase - but a lot of people want to rent, and that's insanely difficult. You see people begging for even semi-affordable rentals all the time online.

It's not either-or - we need to tackle both (rent and ownership)

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

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.

There are a lot more Tennessee Ernie Ford fans on reddit than I would have thought

Read the story, it has details.

Can you tell us about pesky legal restrictions on company housing in NH?

No - as the story says, the development is open to anybody. They haven't figured out how to choose renters, since they're already swamped with interest.

There is a group in Hilsborough County called HAREI - H. County Renewable Energy something - that helps people do this, including more than 80 barn-raising-style solar installs over the years. They're on Facebook mostly.

What he said.

I had all these interesting points to make, starting with that ridiculous error about writing it in a month (?!?!?) but you've made them all quite well.

Also, if she had published a story without revealing the kidder, Murder of Roger Ackroyd would have immediately been relegated to "second most controversial mystery by Agatha Christie"

Note that Poisoned Chocolate Case is sort of a satire of murder mysteries, it almost makes fun of the genre.

If you read a lot of mysteries you realize that a good writer can make almost any solution work in any murder. It's completely arbitrary, really. So I read them to enjoy the characters and the tone and the feel of the work (for lack of a better term) not to see whodunit.

Check out "The Poisoned Chocolates Case" by Anthony Berkeley for the ultimate example of this.

Volunteer for some organization - based around an activity you like or a place you admire (homeless shelter, etc)

Nothing binds people together faster than working together for a common goal.

and you regret it in the morning

watching GPS while driving has the same effect on brain activity as drinking 4 vodka shots in quick succession

Snow sliding off my metal roof - sounds like a train overhead. Startling the first time you hear it.

There is no "syrup season" any more because of the wild fluctuating winters - some commercial farms in Vermont tap in December (!!!)
