@CBCNS It was great for years in Kingsport and canning and now it is terrible. A tier broke down in a storm and they patched it up rather then replace it.

The Sunflower is true affordable housing - meaning rents are no more than 30% of a household’s pre-tax income. As we prepare lease agreements for folks who will soon be moving in with rents of $289 and $303 per month, we are again reminded of how grossly inadequate incomes are

The double standard makes me so angry.

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

In 1995, Dudley George was killed by a police sniper after three days of occupying land near his traditional territory that had been taken by the federal government. I have been thinking about him a lot these days—especially when I see photos of protesters in hot tubs.
