So you act like land lords do nothing. Who do.you think pays the mortgage when the tenants don't. Who pays the mortgage when the tenants trash the house? Who pays to fix a trashed house? I know a few landlords that work a lot and pay a lot of people to do.work. You can fix your credit score. Pay your bills on time and live with a budget. Try the Dave Ramsey course. People have low credit scores as a result.of not paying their bills on time. Its pretty simple.

I appreciate your honesty. You should be thankful the working people pay taxes so.you can live for free. You seem to be the real parasite here. The workers are simply.your host.

So is it society or the land lord that are bad people, the enablers? You sound extremely entitled. Do you work?

This sounds like someone that has no money and no job would say. Business are not charities. McDonald's does not feed homeless people and they have a lot more money and resources than any landlord in this town. You seriously expect them to give away their houses?

Sounds like you can stomach retail. A lot of retailers hire assistant managers and pay 38k or more. I did it for years..its tough work, but reliable and steady.

Said the activist

Remember why you're leaving Massachusetts. Don't bring those failed policies with you to our state.

Theres too many social justice warriors here. Few have to take off work to fight the fight.

This is the pathetic world we live in where everything is canceled if you don't agree with someone's opinion.

No. Increased supply means increased competition which means decreased rents.

How would you suggest fixing the lack of affordable housing? Typically apartments fill this need. As far as describing them as shoddy construction, what apartments built in springfield in the last 20 years look the way you describe them to be?

McDonald's has never been a living wage job. Want to earn more money, get a new skill or a better job. Entry level, low skill jobs aren't jobs that can pay a living wage. Force an employer to pay $20 for McDonald's help and they will make machines to do the work instead of paying people with limited skills to do the job. It actually hurts people with a basic / limited skill set.

I'd like to see this code too. Please post it if you can and if it hasn't been produced to you, demand to see it.

I don't care about people that chose to live a homeless lifestyle and do not wish to change. I guess you need to regulate how they love too? You can't help those who.do not want to change

People travel to Springfield when they become homeless because they are treated well here.

Redditors here hate the truth,you'll be down voted shortly

Watch out, they'll down vote you for saying that. The truth hurts.

Aw pal... watch out. You just got name called because you don't agree with another person. Welcome to reddit

Liberals need to argue like this... they lack arguments and this is the best they've got.

The socialists need this argument. I wish they would all just move to a socialist country to experience how great it is.

There's been studies that have shown a $50 fine was the difference between staying homeless and becoming wealthy for about 85% of homeless people. You act like the judge is going to hand out the max punishment for the first offense... lol.. gimme a break and quit being a drama queen.

That's a reasonable point.

You must be a relative of the guy. Fix the problem before it got to this point. It was so simple. You seem to be trying to cover for the guy

I'm guessing you don't own a business w that remark, which is fine. I have a business and a lot of revenue and have no cash, so believe it or not, people you look at and think shit, that guy is rolling in it.... it's not always the case. There's absolutely no excuse for him to not pay this immediately. Unless this is some strategy to get some press, but that would be a foolish approach imo.

I think their coffee is bad...

To all.the nimbys, what else should they do with the corner..should they put a house there and also on to match the corner at sunshine and national? Those would be houses no one would want to live in.
