[quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone want affordable housing In their rich neighborhood. Way back around 1993 my brothers rich white neighborhood a developer got permission to convert a closed elementary school to much needs affordable housing. He and town got the vote by saying the elderly can’t afford to keep homes in retirement in the towns they raised their kids, children of homeowners can’t afford to stay in town they grew up in. Preference was given middle or lower income people who already lived in town. Two or three years later the lawsuits started. Complex mainly white and some Asian as that was demographics of town. Was a rental property with a long waiting list. Well the lawsuit won and low income black and Hispanics from other towns won right to be next on list. Slowly from 1998-2023 became a dump of low income section 8 type people right in middle of town. The kids can’t afford to stay in town they grew up on and retirees still forced to leave town [/quote]
