Social Why don’t we just allow poor people to be priced out of cities? We should allow them to be priced out and move to cheaper places.

Removing affordable housing projects and government subsidies is going to cause inflation?

Yes because you've made it so people can't afford to work low paid jobs so wages for those jobs will have to go up for anyone to be able to afford to work in them which is going to cause things to be more expensive.

So the solution to lower inflation is to lower everyone’s wages.

I take it you are against increasing wages.

I believe it is called Gentrification

I believe it's called biting your nose to spite your face.

@Andy Capp thinks its funny that working folks can't afford the taxes on their homes. Class act as always.

What does that even mean? Damn, you come off as such an ignoramus when you try so hard to offend people.

Why should we artificially keep poor people in areas they couldn’t affordable to live without being supported by government?

So i have someone to make my coffee and pump my gas.... who's gonna do it? Me?

No, I think it's hilarious that you complain about gentrification in your area while also complaining about taxes going toward helping lower income people.

The taxes aren't going to help low income people, you total fool.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear enough for you to understand. LOL @ calling me a fool.

When the government doesn't support poor people--particularly the working poor--sufficiently, they end up somewhere else other than their homes, like living in their car or on the street or in a slum. Then the area gets gentrified and drives up your property taxes.

Understanding Gentrification and Displacement – The Uprooted Project

Edit: here's a snippet since I doubt you'll follow the link,

Direct displacement occurs when residents can no longer afford to remain in their homes due to rising housing costs. Residents may also be forced out by lease non-renewals, evictions, eminent domain, or physical conditions that render homes uninhabitable as investors await redevelopment opportunities. While displacement occurs routinely in low-income neighborhoods, when it occurs in the context of new development and an influx of wealthier residents, the displacement becomes a characteristic of gentrification.

Indirect displacement refers to changes in who is moving into a neighborhood as low-income residents move out. In a gentrifying neighborhood, when homes are vacated by low-income residents, other low-income residents cannot afford to move in because rents and sales prices have increased. This is also called exclusionary displacement. Low-income residents can also be excluded as a result of discriminatory policies (for example, a ban on tenants with housing vouchers) or changes in land use or zoning that foster a change in the character of residential development, such as eliminating units for households without children.

I see I neglected to respond to this.You really don't know what that means? Seriously?

And you call other people stupid? There's an entire thread active on the first page of WR threads based on the same concept and you don't understand it?



Re: the bold, I think it's telling that you're so selfish and lacking empathy that you do not need to try. I only try actively to offend people who display disdain and vindictiveness for the less fortunate and the oppresed. I'm good with that, spiritually speaking.
