"more than 55 percent of homes in Monterey are seasonally vacant". That drives up home prices and keeps those who can't afford two (or more) homes, without a home! Tax people who don't vote in a town at a MUCH higher rate! If they move out community members will have housing.

The USDA has more than $5 billion in emergency funds available to cover SNAP benefits but is refusing to spend them during the government shutdown. It's the first time in the history of the program that the federal government has refused to spend those funds
SNAP benefit freeze will leave millions nationwide struggling to pay for food – including 472,711 people in Philadelphia
Starting Nov. 1, 2025, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will stop being distributed in Pennsylvania due to the federal government shutdown, which began Oct. 1.

What does it say about a movement when it is built entirely upon brazen lies?
Not an accidental error but an intentional lie.
Note they clipped my statement (see: michaelmann.net/announcement/) to obscure my ongoing affiliation as Presidential Distinguished Professor and Director of PCSSM at Penn.

Such extreme dishonesty in this movement.
