[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone protest gentrification? You think certain neighborhoods should be racially exclusive?[/quote]

Gentrification causes people to lack homes. [/quote]

Not working causes people to lack homes. Bartenders can live in gentrified neighborhoods, so stop whining and get a job. [/quote]

Yeah right, just working any job will allow someone to get approved for a $1400/month apt[/quote]

Then get a second or third job or whatever it takes and also develop some skills so that people will pay you enough to make it.  Whatever it takes.  [/quote]

That’s great that you feel that way, but a lot of people can’t/won’t/don’t do that, so unless you want a bunch of unhoused people on the sidewalks of your neighborhood, I hope you support a public option for housing (just like there is a public option for k-12 schools) and shelters + rehabs in your neighborhood.[/quote]

People make terrible decisions. Having babies they can’t afford with men who are broke is the biggest mistake. No one is entitled to live in DC or any expensive area. Move to a cheaper place.[/quote]
