Poor breeders can't afford a house
Robert Fernandez
that
try to tug at your heart and make you feel sorry for the poor schmucks
who get themselves into a bad situation because of something the mean
old gubmint has done.
The setting is Boston and the famblee being profiled is a fireman who
makes $55,000 a year, so he's not poor, but it's not enough to buy the
necessities for his growing famblee which includes 3 sproggen aged 11,
4, and 4 months.
The problem? Boston, like some other cities around the country,
requires many of its employees -- some types of city employees are
exempt -- to live in the city. Unfortunately, housing prices are
skyrocketing and preventing someone like the $55K/year firefighter
from
buying a house.
Our intrepid firefighter complains that his famblee has outgrown their
two-bedroom apartment and need to find a house, but they can't afford
anything in Boston they can afford. Why they didn't think about this
a
year ago before they created hump dumpling number 3 wasn't discussed.
So, in order to find a house they can afford they must look outside
Boston, but that means he couldn't keep his job.
Whether you think Boston's rules regarding residency of city employees
is good or not, the whining about how unfair it is to famblees is
pathetic.

The rule is asinine, as is the whining.

Particularly when the city mandates live here.....or lose your job.
It would seem to me that the city would then have a certain obligation to
either 1) insure those workers could obtain affordable housing locally, or
2) pay them at such a rate that the housing is affordable to them.
Otherwise, I think one could legitimately bring suit against them for their
discriminatory practices.

And sadly, you will probably still breed *in spite of* the fact you can't
afford it.

On the contrary, I could have a couple more children without it seriously
impacting my finances.

A lot of people would like to live on, say, Beacon Hill. They can't afford
it. The city has quite a few areas with lower costs.

Those are the decisions grown-ups must make in life.....1 or 2 children may
allow you to have enough income leftover to purchase a home. Having 3, 4, or
5 children may only allow you enough income leftover to live in a modest
apartment just outside the 'hood'. If you wish to have several children AND
wish to purchase a home inside the city, perhaps a second or third job is
required to fulfill your dream.

I think the government should subsidize the income of people with lots
of children. The kids certainly deserve a nice home to grow up in, even
if the taxpayers have to dig a little deeper. Children are the nations
greatest investment.
It's a small price to pay.

Having children is one of the most important, noble things to do in
life. Would it be asking too much for a small tax on single people and
childless couples to help out these parents?

LOL...I just received a major ping on my sarcasm meter.

Boston Fire Dept. You can live anywhere in Boston. We lived in
Dorchester. There are plenty of places that firefighter can go and
rent or buy that are not directly inside the city that wouldn't violate
the rules.
My dad was a single father of 3 kids and he did it.

life. Would it be asking too much for a small tax on single people and
EXCUSE ME? Oh, I hope you are kidding. I am childless by choice and I
pay enough property tax in NH already. I'm supporting the public
schools even though I have no kids. I also am forced to pay a fee in
my electric bill that goes to support families who don't have the $$ to
pay their bills. I also give to many charities on my own free will.
Tax to single people and childless couples? You must be kidding. I
will, however, offer up a free pack of birth control.

'city' and still be in compliance. You can surely find lots of places
that are affordable. I was clarifying the outskirts for people that

I don't follow you.
All of the places you named are PART of the City of Boston.
They are not outside of the city.
