I hear that often but honestly my friends parents have all just retired and the vast majority of them would be happy to give 25k for a down payment and help out with the grandkids but thats really it. Mom and dad are really not that wealthy. I am of the age where supposedly my generation should be kicking some money to the recent college graduates and honestly, what money? From where? New basic car sure. You want an Audi? nope.

Attleboro is not a great place but apartments are less expensive. Fall River will be fully renovated when the new line goes in. Best I can say is look for homes near the new commuter line.
On another note I have owned 4 houses built before 1978 with no lead in them. The 1970's did a lot of crappy wood rehabs and yanked most of that out. Add some replacement windows and there goes the lead.

First, use the train if you have to work in Boston and live far enough away to survive. Second, its really expensive. I have no idea how the younger generation affords a 400k mortgage, and suv, an audi, and two kids. I make double the median and I don't have those expenses and still feel like I don't make enough.

You have to be on the outskirts in the newer apartments they built there. But Boston is spilling over to everywhere north. Soon the railway will go to Fall River and those apartments will go up in cost.

Working and living in a place with a high level of prosperity costs money. Would I pay it? No way, I would live south and take the train in.

A police station as a place the public are allowed to hang out? Sure, right up until they say leave.
Unless invited in. such as a warming station or shelter, the public is not allowed in government owned spaces. This was decided a long time before I was born.

I go to perfect smiles in Seekonk. They make crowns in house and this saves me visits. I had the same issue with dentists when I was young and just spend a few years getting all the errors repaired.

Go ask your past students. There should be a Starbucks right up the street and they will be there behind the counter. Ask some basic questions. Find out for yourself.

Rhode island...its just an idiot state...Turn the lights on, get solar. Hell run the dryer all day for heat. Pay the most you can to a solar salesman and make sure you finance. Whole state of idiots who deserve their lot in life.

Its weird you don't think people can have the room they are not occupying dark. Also who is dumb enough after all these years to put electric heat in New England? Even the heat pump companies tell you to add gas or propane for the actual cold weather. So I assume you love solar panels like the rest of the dumb shits. If you sell them you can afford them on your house, but stop preying on the poor with overpriced and senseless garbage.

My mother lives in 3000sf of 1970's technology.. If she can keep her electric bill below $150 the people with LEDS have no method of complaining. It doesn't even take effort, when you leave a room shut off the light. At night does it look like daylight outside? Shut off the light.

Have you met todays under 30 crowd? If teachers claim to be teaching the correct documents then they can explain how these kids don't know anything about even basic history. Perhaps an investigation of their absolute failure would be best. Its either they are teaching it wrong, or they are complete failures in their jobs and these kids are making up their own history.
Go find one and ask them questions. They do not know the answer. WWI...complete unaware. WWII? We went to save the jews? Korea Absolutely positively zero. Vietnam, just the sexual revolution and our troops discovered drugs. American Indians, magical people who never harmed any one and were living in complete peace when the white people intentionally killed them with disease.

But they did understand the basics of history and if given more history to learn it was added on seamlessly to previous history. Why is simple, they got taught the basics without a slant based on facts because intentional changes are fiction, and that should be left to the English teacher. Far worse is intentionally creating a new narrative and teaching it to children to disregard a part of history you don't like as that is more than a waste of every ones time, its difficult to repair later on and that's as intended by the person creating the lie. So if we are just going to have teachers stand up and bullshit the children lets save a step and read them Gone with the Wind and let them know its fiction so at least some good come from the time and investment.

Absolutely 100% irrelevant to the law. Again, a stupid, selfish discussion that has no place in law that a shameful excuse for a judge has decided is worthy.

Hell, no problem, give them your address if they need a place to stay. But don't sit there and say law does not matter so you can get your way. Selfish stupid ideas that a court should absolutely prevent rather than encourage.

I have spent a lot of time with the under thirty crowd and there history knowledge is terrible. Its not even what they don't know that is tough to imagine, its what they know wrong. Stupid adjustments at times. Whole time periods misconstrued. Outcomes that are wrong. Wrong even in the basics. Taught with a very hard slant? You bet.
We don't want or need LOTS of people to weigh in, that's a very bad idea that should be removed from all school decisions....Too many with an agenda who want to teach things wrong to make their group appear better.
So if we are going to continue to teach history this way I say lets just stop. Knowing no history is far better than believing you know the correct history.

You remove the stakeholders. We are obviously not doing the right thing now teaching kids history and if we aren't perhaps the best idea is to stop teaching them history.
