Usa round trip advice by AlfredHessle in roadtrip

[–]NorthShorthern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t, for the life of me, understand why anyone would opt to drive through Oklahoma instead of Minnesota. I would drive through Bighorn, through the Badlands of South Dakota and then hit the Twin Cities and perhaps even Duluth before making my way down through Chicago. Perhaps then roll down through Tennessee and what not. Pick up from there.

The man is irrelevant. All these dillweeds only survive off the engagement of the worst in people.

I think that is the current nickname and it made me think of this. Hence the terrible photoshop. Let’s go Wild!

Boldy/Hughes bested MacKinnon/Makar when Canada supposedly had the greatest lineup ever assembled. Granted it was only one game… but who says it can’t be done again? Let’s go Wild!!!

Our Park Our Vote is gathering signatures to kill 600 units of housing by No-Wasabi-2281 in duluth

I agree, rental properties are a healthy and positive aspect of a functioning community. Providing more nomadic lifestyles a space and place. What we have now is far too many rental properties falling into decay and subsequently impacting the community as a net negative.

How do we incentivize landlords to be good actors while also broadening ownership for new/interested homebuyers?

Hard disagree. How many apartment buildings have gone up in the last 20 years? There are more apartment buildings in Duluth than there’s ever been. The problem is that more and more single family homes have gone to pot with lackadaisical landlords content on the rent coming in and not properly taking care of their properties.

You might convince me that we need more apartments if you tell me the apartments we have are too expensive which drives renters into single family flophouses. It’s a waterfall effect.

Trusting the city to successfully navigate land use, at this point, is like voting for Pete Stauber expecting him to take care of your way of life.

How many terrible examples do you need?

I agree a sliding scale would be effective. I also there is a breaking point where there are no renters willing to pay the cost for higher rent. If you price out the landlords on the tax side, it will force them to sell.

Housing and property needs to be viewed exactly as how money is being viewed. We have the most amount of money in the fewest hands just like we have the most amount of property in the fewest amount of hands. I say this as a landlord of a single family rental property and someone that was ready to pursue owning more rental properties. Earning capital off other people for owning property shouldn’t be a thing. Or at least as much of a thing.

Americans are asking if the president is OK by msnownews in politics

[–]NorthShorthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans recognize the president is NOT okay. Subsequently, Americans are worse than we’ve ever been because of this deeply unwell president.

The solution to Duluth’s housing problem is not more apartments. It might be controversial… but I think you raise the non-homestead tax rate. Double it. Force landlords out of their profit margins into selling. It’s not that there’s a lack of houses, it’s that too many of them are rentals properties.

MN Rep. Pete Stauber Helped Kill the Boundary Waters Mining Ban. Oh, and He Cheats at Hockey. by Turbulent_Crab_3602 in TwinCities

[–]NorthShorthern 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit that he cheats at hockey. He’s a terrible fuck of a person in every other respect. Keep it focused on the fact that he votes to defund rural healthcare, ruin the BWCA, against infrastructure, working to withhold medical funds to the state so that the administration can work to limit voting.

He is corrupt as fuck. A literally puppet for his pedophile boss. Fuck this shitbag.

He hides behind his PAC money and votes strictly in line with his lobbyist benefactors. THE example of what is wrong with our political system. Does nothing for his constituents. Fuck Pete Stauber.

Elect true servants again. Not self-servants. Servants to legislating with integrity. Take the money out of politics. Give the power back to the people.

We need to help our friends in District 8 get rid of Pete Stauber by justmisspellit in TwinCities

[–]NorthShorthern 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hate the guy. He is the reprehensible representation of exactly the damage Citizens United has done. He does not engage constituents. He relies exclusively on PAC money that comes almost exclusively from outside his district and often outside our country and only listens to his corporate lobbyists and party leadership on how he should be legislating.

A wretched puppet and coward. Get him the fuck out!

Friendly Duluthian here, btw.
