The funny thing about life is how your views change.

I would be 100% against Dave before i had kids and owned property. Its different now. Like my area is "affluent" and mostly black. My community is always fighting against zoning for liquor stores, check cashing places, Family Dollars, hookah bars, affordable housing and cheap apartments.

Young Keond would be for all those things, but as i get older, i realize they wouldn't even think of putting those things in the white side of my county. Its like they want to dump all of that shyt over by us to help ghettoize my area because they see the demographics and figure we dont care.

Affordable housing is code word for Section 8 and everything that they bring. All coli bullshyt aside, nobody wants to have a expensive house next to no apartments in metro atlanta. Im just speaking facts, taking the emotion out of it.

Yeah, I'm in the burbs in Chicago that I grew up in. Got older and decided to get a house and raise my kids here. It's important to fight for their communities because at the end of the day, the local politicians in a lot of cases aren't looking out for the town's best interests.

People have to take pride in their neighborhoods and if you not rocking with a proposal or the direction that any legislation is throwing out there, you gotta organize and act. Hop on Nextdoor and you'll see people speaking up about their community's issues all the time. As you get older, you pay attention to this shyt a hell of a lot more.

All america gotta do is build better transport and walkable locations in their cities and that will help immensely with low income people's finances and give them more accessibility to opportunity without being forced to constantly move far away from the city while paying more expenses, then quite honestly the housing in general would be better and people will stop this pompous rich vs poor ass thinking

What y'all need to heed is the fact that he's going to these meetings. I've been going to mine.

I go to the school ones too.

How y'all gonna let a bunch of white people argue amongst each other whats best for you?

So many meetings, town halls, school board where you either have racist white cacs arguing against or liberal white cacs arguing for and I'm one of 10 black folk, and out of the 10 black folk there only 5 of us are even married to another black person and you have these people trying to argue for and against what they feel is good or bad for us.

They get real heated when you don't yell or cuss because then they can't interject, mute your Mic and make threats to have you removed. I checked a teacher in front of our entire city. Dude was talking that "I'm a Christian, I'm an American, I Support the flag and support blue." I straight up told him "That's cool, but the the tests that kids need to take, the curriculum they need to learn ain't about you. It's not going to help them advance in life, or get them a job in the world. You need to focus less on who you are, what you do, and believe in and teach them books."

Here’s a good article that breaks down the affordable housing scam:

Empty Promises: Developers Often Don't Deliver

highlights:


A WAMU investigation of 110 D.C. developments that received $1.7 billion in subsidies found:

  • Flaws with benefits pledged for about half
  • A third missed requirements on hiring local businesses, or the city didn’t have paperwork for them
  • Another 15 percent downsized or delayedbenefits, costing the city millions in lost revenue and others arguably didn’t need the subsidy in the first place
  • Less than 5 percent of the subsidies approved were for the city’s poorest areas, wards 7 and 8.
More highlights:

Promises at the Arthur Capper and Carrollsburg public housing complex in Southeast D.C. go back more than a decade.

When developers wanted to rebuild the area, they said the complex’s 707 public housing units would be replaced one-for-one, there’d be a state-of the-art recreation center with a daycare, and 50 families would get to actually buy homes with help from federal funds, according to the development’s 2001 application for funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

But after more than 10 years — and $90 million in government subsidies — half of the public housing units have been replaced, and a fifth of the former families are back. There’s no community center to replace the one torn down years ago. And three low-income families purchased homes with federal vouchers, not 50.

What is there now, among other things, are million dollar homes and parking lots for the baseball stadium nearby.

:mjlol:

Yeah I was looking at the town on google maps. If they had a simple bus route (doubt they do), people would barely need cars if you lived and worked in this town.

As one who has lived beside a project long term

I get it. Multiple shootings literally on my block over the past few years.

The overall attitude that we have to separate from the hood is what keeps the hood the hood.

All the best troops bounce as far away from the hood as soon as they can manage. I did it too. Just came back several years ago.

Something about the way Dave is coming off lately is off-putting. It's very heavy handed and rude. Mean spirited even.

Combined with my side eye sidening toward the Joe Rogan convo. Funny how he has ALWAYS been the same and I wrote him off long ago, but just now the public is judging.

Didn't like his affiliation with Rogan then and I am pondering it more now

that project wasn't like that when it was new though, it just delved into that when funding for that building went to shyt and the people didn't give a damn after that to keep everything up. Same can be said for every public housing development in America, especially Chicago.
