American Cities have propagated the term “affordable housing” to gentrify black communities.

This is rural Ohio

reading into the articles from p3 and it seems like some are opposed to the project entirely bc the land used to be a garbage dump and they doubt that said land will be viable from an environmental and just from a good-land-to-build-on perspective

re: claims of "not opposed to the build"; i don't think those are fair claims. seem to be media spun. there's no choice as to whether the developers will build land; they're either building many types of housing or single-family housing. those are the only 2 options, so i'd be wary of claims that chappelle is "only opposed to the affordable housing" aspect

in any case, someone from the developer's crew apparently said “We didn’t come to Yellow Springs to solve the affordable housing problem. Our goal was to provide market-rate housing and then to contribute to the Village’s goals”, so i don't think this story is as much about "chappelle denies poor people" as it initially seemed to be

Yooo bout to use this on all my lazy friends

stop making this a race thing, this has nothing do with race

everybody that invests in something is going to try and protect that investment, period

There’s hundreds of apartments across NYC that sit empty because they’re simply too expensive bro

There are absolutely enough homes to be housing thousands of people in every major IS city but we’d rather treat houses as financial assets before we treat them as homes to live in, to grow in, to enjoy

oh word?

or you can go and live in the woods and never buy or rent an house, you choose

Damn f*** Dave Chappelle!

This is amerikkka. Everything is a race thing

bro my heart feels heavy telling you this because you're not even mean-spirited but you've posted some real dumb takes ITT... sad 2 say

They’re like that for the reasons I just said. Is it morally right? No but that’s how it is.

And you know covid had a lot to do with that right? People are leaving nyc in flocks not just due to the prices but because of lockdowns leading them to go elsewhere to get jobs/live their life “normally”.

If/when those apartments get lowered it’s gonna be the same thing that happened in the 60s up to the late 90s. They lower the price, the value goes down, property value lowers. Lower income start moving in. Then people with more money start moving in cause it’s cheap then it slowly starts going back up.

dave chappelle really a opp, hate to see it

There's a ton of property and abandon homes in every town that need to be either remodeled, rebuilt, or torn down to build new. Cities or the state, whomever, need to give tax breaks to people who do this and make them livable. Not only will it give someone a home to live in but it will help raise the property value of the area.

No one wants to touch these properties because it cost too much to demolish and dispose of materials.

"Become a part of the f***ed up system to change it"

Ok everyone lets sign up to be cops! see how quick u get fired doing the right humane thing

we just lived different lives and believe in different things, unfortunately im not a hopeful person anymore and cant just say f*** the system, I understand now its not that easy

but its all love

so you're saying the system crushed your hope of anything changing

yeah id be building affordable housing out the ass lmfaoooo

He’s not talking about cops tho, they’re inherently racist. Money actually talks.

I was just reusing that logic but it was a bit off-topic

I hate this f***ing hack even more now

no, I believe in change, but I also know that you have to be calculated

I disagree in how they use houses as a marketplace too, but I do need to live in one and for that I have to pay for one, so if I want it or not its unavoidably an investment so I understand wanting to protect that investment

ok Mother Theresa
