[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The unfortunate fact of life, which is at the center of this debate and everyone knows but no one says, is that poverty is associated with a number of behaviors that people will pay a premium to avoid. (the nouveau riche do too, but that’s another story) So on the one hand, you have people that have already paid that premium trying to preserve their “investment” and on the other hand you have people that cannot afford to pay the premium who think it’s unfair. That’s it, that’s the whole story. [/quote] It's clearly not the whole story, given opponents' insistence that the build-more-housing people are all younger white college graduates who are just trying to get something they don't deserve. Or is that the kind of "poverty associated with a number of behaviors" you were talking about?[/quote]
