As a NIMBY guy…I’m going to protect my investment. There’s plenty of affordable housing out there, it’s just not 10 minutes walking distance from an urban center.

I can go pay 20k cash and live in a trailer across town if I need to.

Everyone wants low cost housing, no one actually wants to live ina low cost area.

That’s kinda the problem, don’t you think? Your material interests have been set in opposition to people who want affordable housing in the area.

Sure, but let’s say you build a section 8 settlement next to my house. I’m moving…immediately, and so are all the neighbors.

The entire market there plummets and you end up with Detroit.

So great, you solved the problem for a decade. Now what?

It’s a safety issue rather than a selfish one.

Why don’t you just come right out and say you hate poor people?
Show threadchakan2Aug 18, 2023
Saying poor areas are crime ridden is not controversial, nor does it imply one thing or another about said people. It’s just a fact of life.

I have lived in poor areas more than once. They were not crime ridden. So yes, that is controversial.

But I do love that your solution is for for poor people is to buy a home in what you say is a crime ridden area. Yeah, you really don’t hate them.

Lol…no…no you haven’t lived in a poor area. Nice try though.

I lived in South Gate, California, which borders Compton and Watts. Where have you lived?
