Waah, waah, waah, that guy has more money than me! He should do this and that with it.

Were you alive when they dumped all of the mentally ill people on the streets creating a whole bunch of homeless then closed down mental hospitals? You might have heard the PC word, deinstitutionalization. Yeah - the do-gooders wanted them living in a less restrictive environment because I guess, cardboard boxes and sewer grates are so much better than psychiatric hospitals. I bet they don't teach that in school.

Why hasn't your liberal Hollywood elite spent their money building housing for the poor?

It isn't Trumps or anyone elses responsibility to build housing for someone else. The US already spends over half a trillion ($500,000,000,000) on welfare at what point is enough, enough?

Why haven't YOU built housing for the poor? Only interested in spending other peoples money? Or like everyone else would you rather spend your money building for people who can pay for it? Or are you like so many liberals who think it's greedy to want to keep what you earned but not greedy to want to take what someone else earned.

I'm not sure I understand. Were you imagining that Trump has the slightest interest in helping people? He's only interested in the fastest route to more money (and publicity).

Just think, part of that rent you paid included taxes. When people say they want to raise taxes they don't have a clue that they are raising their expenses. What? Yep, you pay them indirectly and that's yet another reason it's easy to fool the fools into supporting higher taxes.

Clinton is more interested in becoming a billionaire than helping the poor,
Hollywood is more interested in impressing each other than to help the poor,

They're all talk and no action when it comes to their money, and then they think they have compassion because they want to force other people to pay for it.

I'll look at their zoning, but I'm guessing there is nowhere to build apartments in Chappaqua.

Problem is, when you rent, cost changes work only in one direction. Property tax cuts don't result in rent reductions.

The ensuing uproar in the above listed towns would provide me entertainment for months, even years.

How about low-income housing with a work requirement? Public housing originally had minimum income requirements which kept out the welfare class.

In all my life I never saw a property tax cut so I wouldn't know.
