right this second in nyc. but atlanta is a black city, shows their lack of effectiveness imo

I mean it could be way way worse. There are cities copying our plans, we provide grants to people whose property taxes increase, we provide grants to people to buy homes in gentrified neighborhoods but they have to stay for 7 years to get rid of flippers, loans for rehabbing homes that people don't have to pay back, low closing fees with attorneys (90% black), the leading model for mixed used housing, and have programs where renters can't get kicked out.

We probably have if not the top, one of the top 3 anti gentrification program in America. :yeshrug: Gentrification is hard to beat.

It's hard for cities to change state laws though. Atlanta has a contingency plan anyway to get more black ppl in.

This is straight propaganda, and they are trying to make Black men the face of transgender violence. Most transgender violence have to do with economic discrimination. That leads to them being homeless and having to sleep from house to house. Black men have nothing to do with that.
This is definitely true. Transgender people been walking the streets in the hood all vulnerable. Matter of fact the only transgendered people I ever remember seeing as a youngster were always people who were in the streets, semi-homeless, oucasted, etc.

The neighbor across the street when I was a kid had a cross-dressing son and I remember my dad telling me and my sister to come in the house one day cause the dad was chasing the son around the house with a shotgun.

For Dems, It must be hard to connect to such a large and disparate voting base. You have to appeal to so many groups with unique interests.

Reparations
gay rights
Poor people
Transgender
Immigrants
Young people

The other side just has to talk about Hate, Guns, God and taxes.
we need more parties, dems got too much ground to cover across disparate social and economic stances. rethugs mainly go conservative across the board (at the national level)
