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

Educate yourself, PP

Seriously.  Studies have shown that working class women do better if they have their babies earlier because it doesn't impede career progress in the way taking a break for a baby does.[/quote]

Sadly, I don't think working class women have the luxury of "taking a break for a baby."[/quote]

A lot of working class women SAH. Most people don’t have $20,000+/year to drop on daycare.[/quote]
