Here is Robert Reich doing the same fucking thing. Sending a letter of support against a prosposal of affordable housing complex built in his neighborhood.

Dang brother ... did you read the article?

I dont know Reich and dont give a shit about defending him but ..this article is about whether this single home in berkeley should be preserved as historic landmark or developed into like a 5 unit duplex.

Reich supported the 130 year old house as being designated a historic landmark

AND

said the proposal would include exactly 1 low income unit.

This article is a very poor choice to examine or discuss low or affordable housing in major cities.
---------------

I 100% agree with your premise .. people support low income housing .. until low income housing comes to their street. Then its "oh fuck no". I wish I had affordable housing arund my house, I got straight up section 8 and it sucks. Littering and loittering non stop.

Denmark prided itself on being open and accepting and tolerant of other cultures .. then muslim immigrants started showing up and they are passing special rules for "non-western" immigrants.

Your take up for a lying coward like Reich because he is a liberal who says one thing and does the complete opposite.

1. Look at the house…that’s of historical significance? It’s falling down trash and we can easily see they are using a loophole.

2. Funny how we aren’t aligning with the activist in the story who is claiming minorities have been historically forced out of this area and have an opportunity to change that with this project…they wouldn’t be involved if that wasn’t the case or are they just lying?

3. Reich refusing to speak and when asked saying only 1 unit if deemed affordable. This is the proposal to get plans on books for vote and not the final plan..he is looking for an out because he knows he’s being a hypocrite per the usual. If Reich was honestly a proponent for affordable housing he would support the project and demand most units be “deemed” affordable housing. You don’t do what he is doing.

This is a perfect example..white progressives using an bad faith loophole to keep out housing you want the federal government to impose.

This is like the Black Lives Matter ceo buying the mansion in 98% white elite neighborhood. When your actions do this, it’s tells everyone your not a serious person…no body pushing the lie of white supremacy moves into the the whitest neighborhood in Florida.

It’s clown shit, it’s a grift…you’ve been duped

The article you posted was about 1 old house built pre 1900s that a developer wanted to take down and build a 5 unit duplex thing.

Im sure there are much better situations and articles to be a medium for the pros and cons of affordable housing.

I posted a long article about the Wharf development in DC that has a lot more meat on the bone if we wanted to chew on the pros and cons of affordable housing and gentrification.

Gentrification, white flight and now the white return ... that interests me for the sociology and nature of humans approach .... I really dont give a shit about trying to score political points on here or defending some dude I dont know who wrote a letter about 1 old house in a city all the way across the country.

I was in Bethany Beach this weekend with my brother who just bought a beach house for 620k about 5 miles from the beach. And he didnt even view or look at the house before buying it. Bought it online. Some of his buddies also bought beach houses this summer, one bought a 1.5M beach house.

It was stunning to spend time with the "haves" of the world. I bought my townhouse for 240k ... imagine having income to just buy a beach house for 620k to 1.5M just because.

I hated Trump and did play the "us v them" when he was president .. but now? man i really really really dont give a shit about defending a D.

It’s a bad look per the usua from Reich, if he was a champion of the cause he woulda demanded most were low income and not a weak letter of support. But again the federal government should have no business blackmailing local municipalities to change zoning laws under any circumstances. In the county I grew up in, which is deeply red and extremely well managed, have always built affordable housing and have partnered with agencies to provide it…it’s well plan and space was carved out that made sense…near buslines and places that provide services which accommodate the community. The narrative of suburbia is racist cause they don’t want high density properties…just shows the lack of understanding by elite progressives about the community itself.

Again .. what I bolded is just Tucker Carlsons opinion and the Westchester story he used to try and substantiate his opinion Ive shown he had the actual facts completely wrong.

If you share Tucker Carlsons unsupported hyperbole ... cool, your opinion.

No one is pushing this narrative that the suburbs are racist .. except Carlson. Ive noticed a conservative PR push to try and make it seem like democrats are "going after" suburbia ... seems like you agree and will be a good soldier and repeat ad nauseum these contrived conservative talking points as some sort of "us v them" rallying cry.
