“If this makes people safer, thats a good thing. ......
“Even if we have to jam it down their throats for their own good” There, now its finished.
The state owns state housing. They have a right to tell us how to maintain the property.
socialized housing.
What the government pays for the government will govern. (and some things they don’t pay for)
I was born in a welfare state,
Ruled by bureaucracy.
Controlled by civil servants,
And people dressed in grey.
Got no privacy.
Got no liberty.
'Cause the Twentieth Century people,
Took it all away from me.--The Kinks
Just imagine what is going to happen if they get their feet in your front door?

T-Birds are damn'd near as evil as those SUVs. I know it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that she was in her 90s.
I own my home. That's a joke because of real estate taxes I will never actually "own" it. The government already tells me how high I can build a fence, what buildings I can erect on my property, any day now the utility company is going to come by and butcher a few of my trees. That's the price I pay for living where I choose to live. I knew it before I bought the place.
“...In this case, the regulations are a convergence of local fire codes that ban combustible plastic furniture from apartment exits..”
As apposed to the WOODEN decks?????
If these leftists actually had the compassion they claim to have in building government housing (instead of giving people vouchers with which to obtain private housing) they would have sent somebody out to work with the residents and help them meet “legal” requirements while keeping any practical accommodations that would not truthfully impinge on those requirements.
But due to the best instincts from their lack of true compassion, they sent someone out to simply demand the government be obeyed, period. In truth, the people got what they asked for - government control of their lives. One can have sympathy for their current problem, but not the original error.
Soulless Communist Bureaucracy raising it’s head yet again in a “bastion” of “Liberal Democrat-cy”
Launching a charm offensive, apparently.
This is the main reason that the left seeks socialist health care -
once they get that in place, they can regulate EVERY aspect of your life because it will affect the cost of your health care.
Shrewsberry has a lot of help with its housing plans and developments:
The Shrewsbury Housing Authority is dedicated to helping residents grow in spirit,
live with a sense of fulfillment, experience dignity and meet the challenges of their
changing lives. In the spirit of this mission, the housing authority staff strives to meet
the needs of all our residents. We have arranged for monthly on-site Blood Pressure
and Podiatry Clinics, a dance program and other social events. For the past five years
the residents of the Shrewsbury Tower have provided the work necessary to support a
Breakfast Club. An expanded continental breakfast buffet is held on Tuesdays from
8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the community room at the Shrewsbury Tower. The Breakfast
Club would not be possible without the dedication of these hardworking volunteers.
The Shrewsbury Housing Authority will be opening the two five-bedroom houses on
Lake Street in April 2007. The purposes of these two houses are to help meet the
needs of individuals living at the Glavin Center. The Shrewsbury Housing Authority was
awarded two million dollars from the Department of Housing and Community
Development for this project.
The Shrewsbury Housing Authority makes a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to the
Town of Shrewsbury annually. State and Federal agencies have set the formulas for
payment. The payments for the past few years are listed below:
Fiscal Year Federal Pilot State Pilot Total Amount
2001 2002 $22,402.00 $5,205 $27,607.00
2002 2003 $25,741.88 $5,233 $30,974.88
2003 2004 $22,248.56 $5,160 $27,408.56
2004 2005 $22,891.08 $4,166 $27,057.08
2005 2006 $22,667.00 $4,929 $27,596.00
2006 2007 $23,567.70 $4,903.51 $28,471.21
LMAO! I love that lady :) The Massholes are out of control. Leave these folks alone!!
I wish I could say, “Sir, it’s not YOUR house, it’s the people’s house. You are not entitled, but we are being very generous with the entitlements.”
Of course they do, dumbass. The state employees have to justify their existance somehow, don't they?
That's right. Give the fascist state of Massachusettes MORE ideas.
