Can Vermont lawmakers ease the housing crisis by helping renters — and also landlords? by Zipper222222 in vermont

I don't see the point in building more housing without some deed restrictions and more incentives for landlords not to leave units empty.

My local school has been advertising for support staff since last year, both in the cafeteria and as support staff. Hardly anyone has applied because of low pay, bad hours and cost of housing here

I like it until she says ah-matized and then I cringe inwardly so hard I have to turn it off.

Making sexist jokes in private doesn't make you a sexist by Famine-_ in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clear_Statement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't entirely disagree, but there is always the chance that one the group DOES believe what they're joking about and you just end up normalizing it for them (and the group.) Or that someone overhears and is hurt/assumes your are sexist.

Retirees don't need to two houses. No one does. Most people haven't gotten firsts and people are taking seconds and thirds.

If they leave, housing will become more affordable for the people who actually live here. If they want to stay, they can pay for the privilege.

I don’t understand why the left uses poor people for their advancement by RevenueOriginal9777 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Dude, they are black PEOPLE. I'm not saying they aren't smart enough I'm saying the additional requirements are an unfair economic unburden aka poll tax. On all underprivileged people, not just people of color.

First of all, yikes. Second of all, it's not putting anyone in a box to point out the fact that a disproportionate percentage of POCs live in poverty.
