This is another thing that i dont get or understand especially in places like NYC. You have all these folks in the past decade that did occupy wall street, all these protests and the whole nine about what's going on in the world, land, air and sea and not ONCE have I seen anything or any protests about the price of rent/housing being too damn high or is unaffordable. Apparently, that was not an issue because folks were complicit with it even if that shyt didnt make sense. Even when there were and still are whole families out on the street, homeless because they couldnt afford it or theyve been priced out. I saw and see nobody caping for those families and individuals . Same gentrifiers busy gentrifying nyc, Los Angeles, san Fran, Austin, chicago, Oakland and etc thinking that saying fukk gentrification and putting it on their social media pages is them helping somebody.
Now when you have these same people about to end up on the street or their favorite nightclub, bar, overpriced restaurant or whatever about to close for good because of this shyt, they wanna do rent strikes, tell the government that the price gouging on rent should stop and all this shyt they should have been doing years ago. Folks worrying about the world when they should have been worried about their own block and also checking their own selves make sure they aren't a part of the problem. A lot of folks stay supporting the same problems they claim they are against and that needs to stop.
