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

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.
Most the people who mad at this I bet never even been to the projects. It's a reason why people want to get the fukk out of them and never look back. fukk that, keep that shyt over yonder.

In this thread we pretend to have mansions.
Doesn’t have to be a mansion. Majority of homeowners dont want section 8 in the neighborhood next to their homes. Why? Because it always brings crime with it. worse schools. That’s just the facts of life. Same way the people saying we need to house the homeless better don’t want some homeless folks sleeping in their backyard. No one wants that in close proximity to themselves and their families. The only ones pretending are the ones who act like people want that near where they lay their heads at night

NIMBYs typically own their house, why would they complain about rent?

Not necessarily. There are renters who want to restrict certain developments near them. Or they don’t want buildings to be too high in certain areas because they want to preserve the character of that space.

Or there are homeowners who claim to care deeply about inequality so they complain about the price that the average person has to pay for rent. Meanwhile, they want to limit the housing supply.

Yes it’s a serious question. Some of y’all are ignorant and hypocritical as fukk. Think about what what you’re saying.

Why do you think the ghetto is what it is? Because poor people are sectioned off and redlined into places with horrible environments deprived from public resources, tax revenue and infrastructure and they become breeding grounds for inequality and deprivation.

I’m out this thread.
All these dudes support the very same practices that are the reason for poverty and the lack of black wealth in our community. Then they'll turn around and claim to be pro black :mjlol:

Affordable Housing isn't ran by the government like Section 8 is and thinking all low income people are criminals well :leostare:
