This is actually I think how Airbnb was originally supposed to work... You rent out a room or an in law suite that you aren't otherwise using. Or maybe your condo in a resort town when you're not there. Unfortunately became so lucrative that you can make more money doing that than renting. I stayed in one in a ski town recently that was clearly at least two separate apartments before and had all been combined to house large groups. Felt kinda crappy about that, and it goes to show how it eats up the housing stock

The biggest risk out in the woods is microorganisms. If you boil it or use a well designed filter you are likely going to be fine if you're drinking otherwise clear water.

I wouldn't just filter the water from the Hudson river and go to town, but if it's 10 miles to the nearest road I think you're probably doing better than your tap

I think you're misunderstanding the post... He's saying property taxes are a necessary source of government revenue (that we all benefit from) but you shouldn't have to pay it if it's a primary residence and there should be a different structure or revenue stream. I agree with that, since a property tax is basically a wealth tax on ordinary people because it is a tax on their single biggest asset.

Initial ballot got lost in the mail or something and I didn't request a replacement in time

Older maritimers remember the reform party and the apparent disdain they had for us. Unfortunately when the pcs and reform merged, we got mostly reform out of the deal

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Worth noting as well that your heat is from waste heat from your engine (where the AC is drawing power to run the compressor and pumps) so you're not really losing anything by blasting the heat with the windows down, if that's how you want to roll

Non credible defence is leaking into the real world

This is not a neutral informative piece, it's trying to push a narrative and build support for an agenda. Part of that is how this particular point is phrased. Her condition is eligible for MAID, since she doesn't want MAID and hasn't applied for it, she hasn't been approved.
