No, I wouldn't want them living near me, on a working class block. It's too modest: postage stamp sized plot of land, in a small old home. They deserve better, so they should live near Bezos, the Obamas, and Oprah. Near Biden or near the Hollywood celebrities. The multi-unit housing complexes should go up there. It's only right.

What are the odds that will happen? Or will the elites hurl false 'racism' insults at the working class, yet again, from their walled estates.

Putting multi-unit housing in the suburbs shouldn't even be discussed...with the death of retail there are tons of vacant buildings and malls that could be converted, before they plop an apartment next to someone's house.

It's the Biden team agenda to make sure as many as possible go on government assistance welfare payrolls, go on food stamps, rely on government for housing, and essentially build up the government to where it controls most everything in daily life.

Taxes will be raised more and more for everyone, over time. Huge trillion dollar healthcare plans and trillion dollar climate plans will be implemented.

Individual freedoms slowly stripped away.

America will be the largest socialist country on earth.

Therefore, get the population reliant on the government, and the population will continue to vote the corrupt, swamp-ridden, government-supporting bureaucrats like Biden into office. Because hey, no one can live without mommy and daddy government, inc. LOL

All the while the tiny .001% of cronies at the top, like Biden's administration, his corrupt friends, business folks and politicians, all get filthy rich.

And wait until "reparations" is passed. Quadrillions of dollars.


Think that's not going to happen? It's going to happen. It may be a ways off yet, but it will happen the more indoctrinated generations are processed through their public school system.

I'd say money well spent. I'd do the same exact thing.

It doesn't even necessarily take indoctrination. At some point, the beneficiaries of so called reparations will be numerous enough to vote it in with the help of the people who hate us.

You wouldn’t want to see what my parents’ neighborhood looks like, and it was upper-middle class when I lived there. Thanks to the liberal politicians who have set up sanctuary cities to welcome in illegal aliens, the high school is rated a 3, 70% of students are on free lunch, and a house was raided that had 15 people living there. I’ve watched the kids get off the school bus in the morning, and they don’t even enter the building. They head up to the McDonalds and loiter all day.

You can expect more of the same when Biden ships in more poor people to upper-middle class neighborhoods.

You guys would spend 75% of your income to move if you lived in my area. The government has been putting in low income apartments all over town. There is no getting away from it. Until 2018 the Rs had controlled the county for 25 years. Same for the state.

Just wait until those apartment developers want that government money. There will be low income housing coming to a place near you, too.

And here's the thing that most other industrialized nations have understood a long time ago--if these jobs paid a living wage, then the people earning them would not be low-income. If everyone could earn enough in a single eight-hour-a-day job, then poverty would be slashed and income tax payments would go down not quite proportionally to the drop in government aid payments and subsidies.

Additionally in other countries, universal health care is more of a service and is not a pay-as-you-go expense for which people must insure themselves to plan for unforeseen accidents and illnesses. That is not likely to happen in this country, where health insurance is only available at a reasonable cost through full-time employment, which leads to employers of these foundational services to ensure that they never qualify for benefits. As long as low-income earners are effectively locked out of employer-based health insurance, there will be conditions that led to the creation of Medicaid.

I don't know what it looks like in the rest of the country, but from where I sit in Mississippi, it looks a lot like economic and social slavery without the receipt from the market giving you the power of life and death over the person you just bought.

Remember my point. Without low income there would be no low-income earners. In this the land of the free and the home of the brave, the land of plenty blessed so much, a hard-working person at a valuable job should not be relegated to a life of inordinate struggle, just because he doesn't have what it takes to work a job requiring more wherewithal. The person who cleans your toilets, or prepares your food, or carries away your refuse should deserve a wage that will allow him to live in a neighborhood where his children can get the same quality of education that you want for your children. That is what I want my America to look like.
