This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Id take affordable housing first to add. Its honestly just a weenie benefit. Sure I would add it on to a dozen more useful things but there is so much more useful things. Even like increasing library programs and hours.
