[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody “needs” a SFH. Just because you are able to afford one thanks to your white privilege and generational wealth, does not make it right.

There needs to be more options in expensive areas for marginalized people and low income families. It’s not fair to keep building McMansions to keep people of color out of neighborhoods.

The sooner we can stop building new SFH’s, the better for society. [/quote]

This is all such a lie.

The only people pushing to get rid of single-family homes are 30-year old white guys who don't want to have to move into predominantly black neighborhoods, where affordable housing is plentiful. [/quote]

I am a married white guy in my 40s who agrees with the idea of ending SFH zoning in my neighborhood in Ward 3 so more marginalized and poor people can afford to live here. Do I disprove your theory?[/quote]

No, because you're either a liar or a fool or both. The idea this is going to lead to affordable housing is completely and totally preposterous. No one can even explain how that would happen. [/quote]
