Salisbury Massachusetts beach town won't turn water on at seasonal homes

You naysayers are idiots, and I NEVER say that here on GLP.

This is America, and if I want to have 5 houses I CAN.

And if I pay my taxes you better turn on my water!

THEY WORK FOR US

no. You are "THEY", unwanted by residents. Go Away you can't be trusted

I can show up at my second house and declare it my new "primary residence".
I will be required to quarrantine myself for 14 days.
So I just bring two weeks worth of stuff.
Beats the city.

surprising...

Let me guess, you are one of those who says two deaths in a state from an infections disease is nothing and that more people die in care accidents and we don't ban cars...or some such nonsense, right?!

So they only pay taxes for when they open the seasonal homes ? GTFO !

No, IMO, if you own a house and pay taxes you should be able to occupy that home at any time you wish

If they have seasonal rules that homeowners have to follow, they should not restrict them

Homeowners should be asked to shelter in place upon arriving at their home

The risky groups should be the ones quarantined not the healthy

Idiots will idiot.

Our town is shut down to tourists as well as people who have their second homes here.

A nice chunk of the population that is left is on some sort of corona welfare to pay their rent, and that number increases every month.

And the realtors are still trying to rent and sell over-inflated way overpriced second-home/vacation priced properties to us - the generally unamused captive audience who remain.

Do they Pay Taxes to that City whiles they are in Town?

Hundreds of folks looking to head to their summer homes in one Massachusetts beach town will likely find themselves without running water.

Officials in Salisbury are reportedly refusing to turn on water meters for more than 300 seasonal homes in an effort to keep residents homebound until the coronavirus pandemic subsides.

Containing the spread of the coronavirus requires collective, unified action, but data on social distancing makes it clear this isn’t happening everywhere.

The question is why.

In what kinds of places are residents deciding to move about as if they are immune to the virus that has paralyzed much of the world?

What do they look like, and why are they ignoring the calls for social distancing?

To get some hints, I put together several sources of data from US counties focusing on economic and demographic characteristics, voting patterns, civic engagement and social capital, and even attitudes toward climate change from Yale’s Climate Change in the American Mind survey.


Analyzing the data reveals that social distancing behavior is related to education; to race and ethnicity; to political identity and social capital; and to the impact that this virus has already had on the residents of particular counties.

And the various sources of data also reveal a larger pattern.

One of the strongest and most robust predictors of social distancing behavior is found in attitudes toward another major challenge facing the United States: climate change.

Places where residents are less likely to agree that global warming is happening, that humans are the cause, and that we have an obligation to do something about it are the places where residents haven’t changed their behavior in response to coronavirus.

The analysis makes clear that we have a collective action problem much larger than Covid-19.

Other measures like the age profile of the county, the total size of the population, the racial and ethnic composition, and even the total number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 do not have a clear relationship with social distancing behavior. Different characteristics turn out to be much better predictors; the strongest predictors are shown in the chart above.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, politics and civic engagement bear a strong relationship to social distancing behavior. Higher levels of social capital — a combination of voter turnout in federal elections, response rates in the 2010 census, the number of associations and the number of nonprofits per capita — is associated with more social distancing.

By contrast, counties with the greatest share of votes for Trump in the 2016 election were least likely to practice social distancing. And the greater the share of residents who disagreed with the statement that global warming is happening, the worse the county’s grade received in the Social Distancing Scoreboard.

Social distancing grades rise with the level of social capital in a county, and grades fall with the percentage of the county voters who cast a ballot for Trump in 2016.

.

They elected their officials. They can elect different ones. Owners of beach homes and the business that feed and entertain them can vote for better officials next time.


In the meantime they can go to their beach homes to peacefully enjoy their private property and do whatever they can do to make the city turn their water on.

We elect our government. We aren’t ruled by them.

Ah. Here is the glitch.

We elect them based on their lies.

This happens, THEY go full retard NAZI.

We can't wait for another election cycle for relief from
their draconian dictates.

So.

We have to do something NOW.
We need results NOW.

They are wrong, NOW.

They need to fear us more.

We the people are in charge, If, and only if we make damn
sure they know it.

I am not inciting violence.

But maybe THEY are.
