[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I will get flamed for this, but what's wrong with people wanting to live with people of equal stature, education, money etc. This is the way society has always worked, people live with whom they have something in common so that they can build a community around them. This new liberal mindset that everybody is entitled to live in the most exclusive neighborhoods is beyond crazy, I want to live next to the White House but I suppose I won't be allowed, that's how life goes.

This isn't a "new liberal mindset" - facts show that concentrating "the poors" in ghetto like settings makes things worse. It is better to spread people of differeing income levels through a community rather than concentrating. Also, the people being contemplated for this kind of housing are not homeless/non-working people, but rather the types of people who, a generation ago, would have been living in our community but are totally priced out now because salaries for those kinds of jobs, teachers, nurses, first responders etc, have not kept pace with housing costs. Generally speaking and speaking for myself, I would be proud to live among such neighbors.
