Okay, there's a lot going on right now, making it hard to focus. Have you eaten something today? Drank a glass of water? Contacted a local representative? Is there a task or hobby that would help you feel better?

NH legislature bills could:

โœ… Permit detached ADUs without insane restrictions
โœ… Remove excessive lot size rules

๐Ÿ  Statewide active listings: 1,173

Until we get more homes, only going to get worse.

Whatโ€™s next? Zoning reform & developmentโฌ‡๏ธ

โš ๏ธ Dover buyers arenโ€™t just competing against each other. Theyโ€™re against:

๐Ÿ’ธ Cash buyers
Meanwhile, the median household earns 40% LESS than whatโ€™s needed to afford a home.

Dover has at least 1,380 new housing units in the pipeline, and NH lawmakers are pushing reforms to fight โ€œsnob zoning.โ€
Will it be enough? What do YOU think? Letโ€™s talk!

New Hampshireโ€™s zoning laws are so bad that an 82-acre site (Fox Run Mall) is being redevelopedโ€ฆ without a single housing unit.
Why? Because the red tape is so thick developers donโ€™t even bother. #NHRealtor #HousingMarket

New Hampshire needs at least 1,750-2,300 more homes just to reach a balanced market right now! Meaning today.
Thatโ€™s why affordability is warp speed collapsing. ๐Ÿš€

Thought for the day. Information is a thing that you can actually quantify and add and measure. The more information, the more of something you have. Information therefore has weight. But if that is true, why does a hard drive full of information weigh less than a brand new empty harddrive?

A Desperate Attempt to Wrest Control Over Her Own Body Steve Ponders the World: Rethinking the Stories We Live By and Everything We Think We Know

Itโ€™s easy to feel helpless. But hereโ€™s where you can start:

๐Ÿ“ข Donate to trans healthcare funds.
๐Ÿ“ž Call your legislators.
๐Ÿ” Amplify trans voices.
๐Ÿ“š Push back on misinformation.

Rights donโ€™t disappear overnight.

They erodeโ€”bit by bit.
What starts with one group never stops there.

If history tells us anything, itโ€™s that waiting to care until it affects you is always too late.

When access to trans healthcare is blocked, people donโ€™t stop seeking care.

They just lose safe options.
๐Ÿšจ DIY hormones
๐Ÿšจ Underground clinics
๐Ÿšจ Medical procedures in living rooms

Weโ€™ve seen this before. The cost is always highest for the most vulnerable.

The New York Times condemned Trumpโ€™s anti-trans policies.

But hereโ€™s the thing:
For years, they gave legitimacy to the same debates that made these attacks possible.

"Both sides" debates over human rights arenโ€™t neutral. They just stall progress.

This has all happened before.

๐Ÿ”น The Fugitive Slave Act turned citizens into slave catchers.
๐Ÿ”น The Red Scare was used to purge LGBTQ+ people from jobs.
๐Ÿ”น The War on Drugs locked up Black communities for generations.

The tactics donโ€™t change. Just the targets.

The push to control trans bodies isnโ€™t new but a long history of restricting rights, forcing people into underground economies, and making survival harder than it needs to be.

We like to think weโ€™ve learned from history. Butโ€ฆ have we? ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
