Workforce Housing law (Manchester, Nashua, Concord: middle-class, to buy, to live)

[GregW]

So housing for the folks that actually do the poorly paid and sometimes "Dirty Jobs" in this economy should automatically be sentenced to live in a slum because they obviously do not work hard enough to live in your pristine exurban town. Just the though of having to live next to a trash collector or a car painter frightens the sense out of you.

I admire the logic of a statement that can rail against the "communist work force housing" and the "elite building developers" in the same sentence. That is truly admirable thinking ability.

Why don't you, CV, simply admit that you are scared sh**less of some working class folks that might be different ethnically or economically than you. Not everyone that works in a factory is an uncivilized gangbanger but you can’t wrap your little mind around that fact.

Is there anyone that believes a gangbanger would actually work a legitimate job like a factory worker? What gibberish....

I truly appreciate all who have given me repp points and are in accord with my thoughts on this subject! I only suggest you make it known to local media, others on this forum and even your representative law makers! I understand the later may seem futile but we must all have a voice to ward off this very destructive mindset!

This is a mindset where some actually believe their support of this measure makes them feel noble and altruistic! I think they are truly delusionail if they really believe this stuff!

Please show us the right of people to live in nice house and to make a certain level of income.

What you are spewing is communism, plain and simple.

I am just curious, what does ethnicity have to do with this? You are the only one to bring this up, so it appears, at least to me, that YOU are the one making assumptions about ethnicity and "workforce housing".

I have not seen anyone on this thread, who is against this Socialist housing policy bring up ethnicity.

People that do deals with me or who have worked in my offices are familiar with a comment I often make about things being a "zero sum game." (In fact for those who are fans of the movie Wall St., Gorden Gekko had an interesting dialog about that very subject that had some real depth to it.) I suppose that's partially why this quote I ran across last week made such an impression on me. The last line about multiplying by dividing pretty much sums it up. I don't for a moment think this will change anyone's mind, but based on most of the thread I thought many here would enjoy reading it:

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

-Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005

The "race-card" is all part of the game for the left. It's used as an "essential meassure" in their abiliy to devalue the other side in any debate. They suppose, deep down, if you don't agree with them you are a racist. And it's not that they really care about minorities.....else they would not use them like chess pieces in debate games.

Don't think it's necessary.

Great post, GregW.

So, I've read a number of posts whining about "illegals" in Nashua and Manchester. Now, if it's not all about race, how does one tell by sight if a person is illegal or not? I'm assuming said posters have no real contact with any of these folks.

Your post has nothing to do with what I was talking about which is the injection of "race" into political debates by the left for cheap debate "points" and to try and silence, or shame the other side.
