When you live in house owned or subsidized by the state - yes - they can tell you what to do.

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.

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.

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!!

"This" is a notice sent to residents of the state-subsidized apartment complex
for elderly and disabled residents...

As the great radio commentator Paul Harvey often says:

What the State giveth...the State can take away

But for the majority of folks in Massachusetts...
YOU VOTED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN for this Bravo Sierra.

“Every year they seem to focus on different things,” Dennis Osborn, executive director of the Shrewsbury Housing Authority, said of DHCD officials.

Of course they do, dumbass. The state employees have to justify their existance somehow, don't they?

"You might as well put bars on the door.”

That's right. Give the fascist state of Massachusettes MORE ideas.

They must also take down everything in the common front hallways, such as rugs, curtains and wall hangings.

So it'll better resemble a true government entity. A barren space.
