Her platform isn’t calling to ban single family housing, it’s calling to ban zoning that ONLY allows single family housing.

Yes, we know. There would be no issue whatsoever with her living wherever she wanted to if she hadn't made her entire campaign about single-family zoned neighborhoods being a tool of "segregation." Get it?

Please ask ChatGPT to explain like you have the IQ of a 5-year-old.

Humans apparently aren't talented enough to translate from English to stupid.

Here are the facts put simply:

The Price: A $1 million house in DC is not a rich person's mansion. That is just the normal price for a basic house in the city.

The Location: The paper says it is "near the White House" to make it sound fancy. Five miles away is the outer edge of the city. It is a regular neighborhood.

The Rules: Being against "single-family zoning" does not mean being against houses. It means thinking the government should stop blocking people from building townhouses or duplexes on their own land. Buying a house does not mean supporting the government ban on other types of homes

A $300k price tag isn’t a rich person’s Maserati; that’s just what they cost.

Ah

NP. Does it matter how nice it is if she is railing against people having single family homes?

I just love the hypocrisy on the left - and watching liberals defend it, over and over.

there's literally no hypocrisy here. JLG is not saying we shouldn't allow people to own single family homes nor is she running on banning single family homes. She is not even saying we should ban single family home zoning, she is simply saying we should change the current single family home zoning so it does ban everything except single family homes.

Even if JLG gets everything she is running on you will still be allowed to buy a single family home. you will still be allowed to build a single family home. The only thing that will change is that if you own property that is currently zoned for single family homes only, you will be allowed to build other types of buildings on it.

This is really not that difficult a concept to understand. It's so simple, in fact, that if you're trying to push the narrative that single family homes will not be allowed under JLG, there are really only two possibilities. One is that you know you're pushing a false narrative and are actively spreading false propaganda. The other is that you're so incredibly stupid you are unintentionally spreading false propaganda because you are too dumb and lazy to spend 2 seconds finding the truth before spewing your false and idiotic verbal diarrhea online. So which one are you, an intentional liar or an absolute moron?

DP. Speaking of absolute morons... no one is saying that single family homes won't be allowed if JLG wins. Not even sure where you got that strawman, but bravo - it's a doozy. Your entire post is a beautiful example of the gaslighting we've all come to expect from the left.

People are (rightfully) angry because JLG said in her Op-Ed:
“Exclusionary zoning preserves segregation and exacerbates displacement.” She then to buy her home in a neighborhood that - wait for it - is single-family zoned. She could easily have bought a place in a mixed-use / non-exclusionary zoned area so as to, you know, walk the walk, but she chose not to. It is indeed a very simple concept that you seem determined to spin into something completely false all the while pretending what she's being called out on is "propaganda."

She's a hypocrite and you are too. News at 11.

If you wrote that thoroughly ridiculous comment with a straight face, I feel sorry for you.

I see you either have zero reading comprehension or else are totally unable to produce an intelligent rebuttal. Probably both.

So you don't understand the issue or why she's a hypocrite - yet you're clueless enough to call others "stupid." Please take your own advice re: ChatGPT.

A 1.1 million house in Manor park is not that atypical for a family in DC. Don't fault JLG on this BUT sending her kid to private school- that's bad. What's wrong with her zoned school? Maybe a charter? She's a hypocrite! Why wasn't this discussed during the election?

The fact that the opposition has absolutely nothing factual to say again JLG makes me very happy to support her. It's Mamdani a over again
You can't grab onto anything when the candidate is squeaky clean.

We've explained the situation to you many times, many different ways, from multiple sources.

You on the other hand, are either too stupid to follow the NY Post's intentional conflations of different terms with simlia words, or you are intentionally lying. Either way, feel free to sell your precious single family house and move out of DC before Mayor George takes office.
