[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah- it's in Douglas Park too, but to a lesser extent. Whenever someone starts with that crazy talk, I feel like they are invariably from Barcorft. The county is dosing the water over there. 
Some crazy lady at the dog park was lamenting how terrible it was that all these young ( white) families with kids were the ones buying houses in her neighborhood. She was from Barcroft- and white!
I was like cool story bro and of course didn't challenge her. I never challenge them.
Maybe that is the problem.
We don't speak up. [/quote]

Yes, perhaps speak up...
I would have asked her to describe the ideal family she would be thrilled to have move in next to her, and buy that house instead?
Or, would she prefer razing all SFH to the ground, and putting fixed rent apartments there instead?  
Seriously?

Well, I think she would like to see more immigrants. That's the jist of it. She specifically spoke about how terrible it was that the condos at the corner of Four mile and Walter Reed were. She was saddened to see the crappy garden apts get renovated and sold as condos. 
" where are people supposed to live?"

Meanwhile I was thinking: umm... those condos are where many of my ( very middle class) friends are looking to buy, as it's all they can afford. They are priced out of North Arlington. Where would you like them to go? And then I realized it. She would like them to go to anywhere but here. [/quote]
