Water

My beleaguered neighbor across the street, who last year paid close to a million and a half dollars for his home, is suffering from continuing flooding issues. I don't know the full extent of his issues, but it's bad & seems to be unresolvable without extensive remediation. The guy has 2 toddlers & tells me that mold is growing in his basement...

The state did not ban paper bags, the grocery stores almost all switched to the cheaper plastic bags, which I have always despised. (my first job was bagging groceries, so I am well versed in packing a good paper bag. Throw all that out with plastic

For all practical purposes, it was a ban. The switchover was close to 100%. I like plastic. It's practical for many things whereas paper is problematic...even Trader Joe's bags rip easily & they are better than average.

I do reusables, especially if I'm walking down to TJs. There's a place for all of these bags...not a big fan of the government banning something like grocery bags & getting that far into our personal choices.

It's a water-lot over there. The other owner had the same issues. Same foundation. It seems worse; if anything.
