‘If the city wants to do something about affordable housing then they need to control their spending’

It appears that the city officials continually override the tax cap and then they need more money so they tax us more. Then people blame the evil landlords who are taking advantage of the poor.

And the hot topic this week being the Coronavirus, well, I figured I should stop watching videos on Facebook of my friends playing music in bars and educate myself on this deadly disease that seems to be a sneeze away from killing me.

Manchester is the largest city in New Hampshire and all of Northern New England. It is a hub for commerce, finance, higher education, culture, and it drives much of the state’s economy. There is one thing glaringly absent from the Queen City though; Manchester does not have a plan for housing.
