I'm saying the metrics they use to determine affordability are flawed and misleading. Like using median income, for example.

The only thing I'm trying (and succeeding) to do is call you out for blatant bullshittery. Portland's a helluva lot closer to Waldoboro than Bangor.

Maybe take a page from any book and learn some reading comprehension. Something like "Everybody poops" since you feel the need to expel diarrhea from your mouth.

BINGO! I have conservative bingo!

You're trying to push a narrative that Republicans are held to higher levels of scrutiny, and you're trying to use a newspaper from a different part of the state not putting Waldoboro on its front page as an example of that double standard.

Maybe pull your head out of your ass every now and then.

I'm not going to get into the political semantics of the terminology, but it's simple matter of the metrics they're using not even beginning to crack the threshold of affordable. It's all a smoke and mirrors game to the people writing these reports.

The fear mongering is you trying to pitch this as Democrats trying to sweep it under the rug, while the truth is even his own party is calling on him to resign or be ousted.

I don't need to be a bleeding heart liberal to point out the false equivalency and bad faith argument you're trying to push.

I should hope I don't have to correct someone's fear mongering in that thread, but hey we'll see.

A shit bag is a shit bag no matter what political label you want to slap on it. Stop trying to make everything so goddamn divisive.

And it's not surprising that a Bangor publication doesn't put podunk Waldoboro on the front page. You're looking for a reason to be outraged.

Stop calling it affordable housing, for one.

Fuck you, MaineHousing.

why not ask the person you're looking to rent from?

And southern Maine.

If you think 50 cents per egg is bad wait until you hear what people are paying for coffee.

hey u/Maine-ModTeam is this on topic?

Predatory practices and turning a blind eye toward their contribution to the current problems, mainly.

Rightfully deserved reputations right now.

Never would have guessed you were a real estate bro

Overheard a realtor at a holiday party bragging about getting his clients 2mil over asking on a home. A HOME.

Man, this must be a constant problem for you to have a message ready to copy and paste whenever the situation arises.

Get over yourself.

So your complaint really had nothing to do with your problem then.

Take it up with the mods who never post here and hide behind a group account, just like all the absentee landlords.

Yet complaining about AirBnB and its hosts is "off topic"...

And you decided to copy and paste the same message?

Wherever you were when you posted this word for word a year ago.

They're using sketchy statistics to make this map, comparing median income to home costs.

Depends on the industry.

You know many businesses are still short staffed, right?

Ah, the grift is on!
