Not a big fan of this, because I don't think allowing 18 years old to have even easier access to guns makes sense to solve it the problem with gun violence. It also doesn't help, like you said @Winny about how Louisiana had some of the worst gun violence back in 2021. I don't know how this would...

That's a good point, the article does only mention mining of minerals on the seabed, doesn't mention if you can collect artifacts found while mining. I could see that requiring some other permits like you said. I could see a lot of people lying and mining for artifacts while mining for these...

Are there any portals available throughout the whole country? Or are there usually online portals in each city/location? I'm mostly just curious, as I could see there being a country wide system. If not, I think they should look into implementing a country wide system. Or would that be impossible?

Patience is key, and I know having to wait isn't always ideal, but everyone is in the same boat and has to wait just like the rest of us. Patience goes a long way though, because there will be times when thigs take a tad bit longer than usual. I always tell people to be patient, wait it out...

Source: Springfield News-Leader If you intend to hunt deer and turkey this year in Missouri, you'll have to take some new rules and pricing to keep in mind. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) had decided to raise prices on permits. The MDC have brought out a new fall turkey-hunting...

Imagine if you found some hidden treasures. I can't imagine it's a cheap endeavor to take up either. Aside from the permits, you have to account for the equipment to mind, boats and whatever other machinery you need. And who knows who will get selected to get these permits. I doubt anyone can...

To my knowledge, it can be challenging. I know some states have limited availability for permits, so it's not always easy to obtain. Then you got rules around if you are running a bar or restaurant. Might be things to do with restaurants that also serve kids. It might also depend on the area.

Yeah I can see a lot of people trying to just rent them out. And part of me is okay with that, because of they at least charge a fair price, or a more affordable price I should say, than I don't think it's that bad. But if they're trying to rent it out for a lot, that's a different story.

This is great news. I don't know a whole lot on this sort of stuff, especially stormwater regulations, but if there are harmful chemicals involved and this is to slow that process down, I'm all for it. It's definitely a step in the right direction.

There is a significant backlog for Honolulu's Department of Planning and Permitting, or DPP for short. There is now close to 20,000 applications for just 2023 alone, but only fewer than 15,000 or so permits have been issued. Property owners and developers are facing longer wait times for...

The good news is that you don't have to obtain any permits to collect rainwater in Michigan. As long as you're using the water for gardening and personal use, you are fine to collect as much as you want.

Yeah I thought the same. 19 homes completed in such a short time is great. I assume the 61 that have permits are hard at work on their homes, so those numbers could be better in the next few years, at least in terms of completed house builds.

Affordable housing, here we come. Yavapai County's "Home of My Own" Program will be expanding upon their $65,000 home program to help bring more affordable housing to the area. The program, which was launched back in 2020, offered a set of pre-approved plans that were for one, two, and...

I agree. ADU's seem to be a big help as of late. It could be a great way to help with the homeless problem. If my yard permitted it, I would totally put up an ADU and try and either rent it out or use it to help a friend or family member even. Or if I have land, I could consider letting someone...

I think overall, I just want to have a fast experience with the permitting process. I don't want it to be a long drawn out process. The quickest I can get in and out is ideal. There is some great ideas in here, like one being, having self service options. Being able to file electronically right...
