I live in a semi-rural area that is coming under pressure from developers wanting to build a lot of cookie cutter neighborhoods, apartments, and townhomes so I see his point. I don’t necessarily have anything against it here as I’m a transplant myself, but the people who have lived out here for a long time are against it because they like the rural feel and culture of the area.

Seems to me like Dave and them are just pushing back against someone coming in and changing the vibe of their village which is why they live there in the first place. I don’t necessarily see it as them being against affordable housing. Looks like the developers were probably disingenuous about the affordable housing part anyway to squeeze their development into that community.

That's exactly why Dave is against it.

Funny thing now that Dave is against, the same people who spent 33 pages being against it too. Now have a problem with it... :lol10:


IDK maybe they're upset Dave walks what he talks, and doesn't tweet about it. LOL

I only been in my neighborhood for a little over a year and it was a nice mix of open land and houses and very little to no stores.

Now they knocked down and paved all this land and its turning into a typical cookie cutter suburb and I feel its kinda lame. They have all these houses going up but I havent seen any thing regarding school or how to make the drive easier with building sidewalks or things like that.

I legit move back here because of the ruralness of the area but now its damn near a full 180 in less than 18 months since I been here.

Regardless, I see a black man exerting his power in a majority white community. That’s something to be proud of in my eyes.

And it says a lot that people get mad at preventing affordable housing. Shows that they automatically assume only black people are candidates for affordable housing.

Same thing happened in my old neighborhood, but I didn’t really mind too much because I liked the convenience of having all of those stores around.

I can see how eventually things would get run down through which is part of the reason we moved back out to the country a little.

Did I say that?

I said the city is not some great city where folks make money.

So how is dave and the rest of the city that didnt agree with the propsal keeping folks out that would be coming in thats going to be on par or even have more money than them keeping "poor people" out?

The houses thats being built are going to be worth double and triple the price of the houses that is already there and that includes the low income houses
