[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was on NBC4 today. They interviewed the neighbor and the owner. The owner is now claiming the extension is so his aging parents can live with them. [/quote]

I like his pointed "in our culture we don't send our parents to the nursing home." NO, we build three story accommodations for them with a rabbit Warren of tiny bedrooms, multiple kitchens and baths for them to "play with their grandkids" in. The nerve.[/quote]

I'm from a native, ethnic culture, been here over 40 years.  This man is a slimeball.  [b]He is using his "culture" as some sort of shield to justify all of this.  [/b]Of course he is not sending his parents to the nursing home - the home belongs to them, not him and he hopes to get it after they pass.  This is the way it works.  I agree with others here that everyone is in cahoots - the parents and kids.  They want to build an apt building and run a commercial operation - albiet all cash with zero taxes paid.  GTFO

He knows that this is Generic Whitey's Achilles heel -- hypersensitivity to other cultures combined with insecurity about their own perceived lack of culture. He will get away with it just because of this.[/quote]

His timing is bad though. He would for sure get away with it in 2021-2022. Now people are recognizing that just knee jerk deference to any non-white person out of white guilt is not actually good policy, and you seem more people, including progressive white people, thinking more critically.

[b]These people are con artists, it has nothing to do with their race and everything to do with their character. The neighborhood is racially diverse and people of all races oppose this idiotic monstrosity that is CLEARLY going to be used as an illegal apartment building or AirBnB. [/b]I know some racists have wandered into this thread and the conversation to express anti-Asian sentiment -- it's unfortunate such people exist and will seize on opportunities like this. But it doesn't mean people are just going to roll over and accept this. I think people are mobilizing. If they can't get the construction torn down, I think the building will be watched like a hawk for other violations and reported for everything else. Everyone in the neighborhood has a vested interest in making this go away.[/quote]

He is trash. And his trying to deflect his immoral and selfish actions by making it about his race does significant harm to those who do genuinely experience racism.
