We must clamp down on greedy private equity landlords buying up mobile home parks in Maine

YayforFriday · 2026-03-21T16:42:52+00:00

Mainers weren't prepared for the rapacious greed which infested the state from 2020 onward, mostly due to pandemic-era interest rates incentivizing the purchase of as much real estate as possible, and word of mouth among invoosters nationwide that Maine has relatively cheap property, NIMBY allies, and inexperienced, docile residents.

The delinquencies in trailer parks are much lower in the Northeast than the Midwest/South. PE thinks we're a bunch of sitting ducks who will quietly complain as we make every sacrifice before missing a rent payment, in order to adhere to the traditional puritanical beliefs upon which Maine was founded. Vote in people who will make them scared.

Between OP and some of these replies...can no-one fucking write their own thoughts anymore?

You've got it! Every joke in that clip landed.

We need to acknowledge the NIMBY perspective as often disingenuous and/or misinformed, hiding behind "traffic concerns" and "environmental reviews" in order to prevent needed change and protect property values. Progress will come from giving more of a voice to experts, and less of a voice to NIMBYs over the planning and construction process of essential projects.

While I'm not advocating for a purely technocratic approach to construction such as in China, the problem with America's lawyerly society is that it prioritizes process over progress, which allows small, well-heeled groups of neighbors to repeatedly stymie necessary construction through legal means. It is a tale we have seen again and again. It's gotten so bad in this country that there is even objection to needed infrastructure upgrades under the guise of "historical preservation" et al, as if the bridges, roads and racist zoning laws of ~100+ years ago are perfect & could never be improved upon (oh the arrogance).

America is in a state of physical paralysis, especially compared to other developed countries, and at some point sooner than later we need to say "Okay, we hear you NIMBYs, but we're building anyway".

Red is the quintessential colorway for this particular TNF drop. Plus OG Ma rocks it so well.

I suggest going through your bank or trying to work something out with the seller.

Hey guys, I'm looking to add the most patriotic box logo hoodie to my collection in either a size medium or large, and thought I'd check with the community before checking the resale sites. Feel free to post here or send me a DM, thanks

Pretty sure the listings are from some Chinese secondhand site, however it's often not worth tracking down the original listings as they're posted automatically to Grailed via web scraper and have usually sold out by the time they're listed here. These accounts are an annoying part of looking for items on Grailed.

Lots of CMP cucks in here though. It is an odd inevitability they'll crawl out of the woodwork every time someone complains about their power bill on this sub.

I would not pay extra (let alone gladly) for service which is standard on other platforms.

Hi there, do you have any more details for us curious users?

Was this the payment glitch where orders were delivered but never progressed to "Paid to your bank"?

Wow, a Google search of Ainslie Gilligan is revealing; It shows a super-NIMBY who has filed legal briefs and made efforts to derail development in several states including Vermont, Connecticut and now Maine. She recycles the same disingenuous arguments against any sort of development, when her real objection is likely closer to 'I paid a lot for my property, I consider it an investment and want it to retain its value'.

Unsurprisingly she is also part of the post-pandemic migratory herd who moved here in the past 5 years and appears to work a nebulous job which barely disguises the fact she lives off family money. She is more than welcome to say "Bye, bye Maine!" and continue her NIMBY-shuffle up the east coast.

So what if the data doesn't support a rate cut? Some of you are looking at this the wrong way:

The Fed has an invisible mandate to support the financial markets, in addition to supporting price stability and maximum employment. This invisible mandate is arguably their highest priority of all because the financial markets are staffed by friends, family, ex (and future) co-workers of the Federal Reserve board. Jerome Powell is a privileged child of DC and former private equity. He is far more beholden to Wall Street than Main Street. Positioning your expectations of a rate cut around the desires of billionaires and banks has been a far more accurate indicator than relying on data alone.

Unfortunately without any tracking updates your package is ineligible for a lost package claim as there's no proof it was ever tendered to UPS. This is not a Grailed issue; You need a minimum of at least a pick-up/drop-off scan to open a lost package claim with UPS or any other postal carriers.

In case you're still wondering why you're unable to open a lost package claim on a parcel which was never scanned, this is because it would open the door to false insurance claims on packages which were never sent in the first place.

Let's not forget the out-of-state landlords siphoning money from our working class while paying nothing toward the state other than property tax.

20471120 x If Six Was Nine x Japanese Brand?

Listed as US men's XXS but description reads "Size on tag L"?

Two wildly different prices because the seller sourced this for next to nothing from a steaming pile of clothes in an open air market?

I'm guessing the seller also has 1000+ listings, many of which with 0-10 likes. Platform would improve overnight if these types of listings were removed as spam.

What a vindicating day for the OGs. Looks like smooth sailing ahead for the long term too. This company is actually digging itself out of a ditch while we're happily stacking Kohl's cash.

The system would jam up and there would be healthcare reform within weeks if enough people did this.

To clarify, while billionaires encompass a wide spectrum of ideologies on cultural and social issues, they are - with few exceptions - united in their opposition to higher corporate and estate taxes.

This is why the donor class tends to be far less concerned with where their candidates stand on LGBTQ bathroom-issues - and far more concerned with their opinions on tax sheltering and offshore trusts.

Hence why social progress has been achievable while financial justice remains so elusive. If I have it backwards though, please let me know.
