- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoWhat does this have to do with poor or homeless people?
- bitlax 1y agoYou don't understand. I'm a real person who's had real experiences. I am now disinclined to invest in housing for the homeless because you won't take my real problems seriously. If you actually don't understand the connection you should refrain from commenting.
- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoYou sound like the exact person this article is satirizing.
- bitlax 1y agoI doubt you could describe the target of this piece but it is not people like myself. That is not to say that the piece should taken seriously. She would have been wiser to simply tweet the title rather than lift the veil on her various unearned grudges. At any rate, you can continue try to insult me but it will not persuade me. You might not think that matters but here we are.
- freeone3000 1y agoMarijuana usage is now in the mainstream. You might as well ask how to prevent your property from smelling like cigarette smoke.
- hollerith 1y agoThat has been addressed in some jurisdictions: >San Rafael law prohibits smoking in all apartment and condo complexes (if your home shares a wall with another home – you can’t smoke there). A housing complex is only allowed to create outdoor smoking areas if they meet certain criteria. Landlords and property managers are required to enforce this law through lease agreements. For more information about this, check out this handbook: >https://www.cityofsanrafael.org/documents/san-rafael-smoke-free-housing-handbook/ https://www.cityofsanrafael.org/documents/san-rafael-smoke-f...
- bitlax 1y agoMy property doesn't smell like cigarette smoke. I've had various mechanisms of enforcement to prevent it. Also marijuana usage is not in the mainstream in my community. In order to prevent it I will not make the investments advocated for here.
- Loughla 1y agoI can go weeks without smelling cigarettes or seeing someone smoking a cigarette. But every fucking day marijuana. Every public park; marijuana. Sports events; marijuana. Just sitting in traffic; marijuana. Waiting in fucking line at my kids' after-school pickup, marijuana. It's a little ridiculous at this point. I am a huge proponent of legalized marijuana, but for real. The people that do this are ruining it for the rest of us. Luckily it makes SO MUCH MONEY that I don't think we'll ever see it outlawed again, but. This is exactly what the pearl-clutching anti-pot people said would happen.
- bitlax 1y agoThe commenters here have simply assured me that allowing these people to live near me will expose my young children to marijuana smoke, and that I will not and should not have any recourse. Many of them are marijuana smokers themselves. They have no answers, to the extent they could even see this as a problem at all or understand my very common point of view. This seems like a no-brainer, and I will continue to vote and advocate against these policies, to the extent that I need to because most of the people I live near agree with me. Thanks all.
- Loughla 1y agoI live in a relatively affluent (upper-middle class) area away from any urban center. It's not poor people that are smoking more pot, sorry for the bad news.
- bitlax 1y agoIt's gone up among many demographic slices, including the two we're discussing. At this point I don't have to experience it. The commenters here --including yourself-- think that I do and some think that I should, and I'm wondering how I would continue to prevent it. They've provided no clear answers, only insults and condescension. And that's fine! I just leave here unconvinced and will not follow their prescriptions. > sorry for the bad news Sorry you didn't realize that supporting legal pot would make you smell more pot.
