[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to Goulet on Twitter, this was the question:

“The Ward 3 population has approximately 82,000 residents, which reflects an 8.2% increase from 2010 to 2022. History tells us that black residents who make up 5% of Ward 3 residents with a median household income of $51,000 per year as compared to the 81% of white residents in Ward 3 with a median income of $170,000 per year. These black residents are more susceptible to displacement given the hardship associated with the increase in residential and commercial values. What is your strategy to balance the increase in affordable housing, increasing density in Ward 3, while protecting the property value of current homeowners? Moreover, how would you provide for neighborhoods that are racially, socio-economically, and generationally diverse?"[/quote]

The implication of the question as it is typed here is that having lower income people of color automatically reduces property values. For Ward 3, I highly doubt that is the case and as such would have challenged the premise of the question. Given that was the question, Goulet's response is still absurd.[/quote]
