Sorry but I’m not the one who is suggesting that white people should stay out of lower-income black neighborhoods. [/quote]

Are you one of the ones saying that Ward 3 should remain off-limits for people who don't have a lot of money?[/quote]

Anyone is more than welcome to buy in Ward 3.   Lovely center hall colonial in AU was just renovated up and now looks to becoming a 1.5 or 1.8 million home.

Welcome all![/quote]

Weird definition of "anyone" you have there.[/quote]

The market price buyers - which is what drives everything.  Reality.  Sorry.[/quote]

People who talk about capitalism while favoring restrictions on supply...[/quote]

They're [i]so[/i] close to just coming out and saying "f*** you, I've got mine!"[/quote]

Everyone can buy whatever home they can afford. That’s how it works, and that’s how it essentially will always work. Home values exist on a spectrum in which less desirable homes in less desirable areas cost less and more desirable homes in more desirable areas cost more. It’s never going to change. If you want to buy something, you have to pay for it. Sometimes that means taking a job you don’t love because you want the paycheck or doing something else you don’t want to do, but that’s life. Sometimes that means some homes or even some neighborhoods will always be out of reach, but that too is life. Some of you do sound a bit entitled.  [/quote]

There's no need to condescendingly explain the housing market. And just so you're aware, you [i]are[/i] saying "f*** you, I've got mine" when you simultaneously acknowledge that some areas are unaffordable, and also argue that we shouldn't build more housing there.

I look forward to your next deflection.[/quote]

Look, there are neighborhoods and homes that I can’t afford and never will be able to afford. But I’m not bitter about it. That’s just how it goes. [/quote]
