I guess searching for things to be offended by is easier/more entertaining than getting housing built. [/quote]

Why would you think that? I have heard plenty of people express this opinion, at public meetings, in real life.[/quote]

I go to more than my share of public meetings and have not heard this view espoused a single time. Show me a transcript from a government meeting in the Washington metropolitan area where someone advocates disenfranchising renters. [/quote]

What government meetings do you go to that have published transcripts? :shock: [/quote]

Video is fine too as long as you provide the time stamp. [/quote]

What government meetings (for the public) do you go to that have posted videos with time stamps? :shock: [/quote]
Montgomery County, MD does.

Yeah, that's for if you want to watch the Montgomery County Council. There are a lot of meetings in Montgomery County where members of the public speak that aren't Montgomery County Council meetings.[/quote]
So you are claiming that there are “government meetings” that are not Council meetings where people are saying that renters should not be allowed the right to vote but those meetings are not recorded? Right…………[/quote]

What I said: "I have heard plenty of people express this opinion, at public meetings, in real life."[/quote]
What meetings are those?[/quote]

Community association meetings, HOA meetings, public outreach meetings, meet-the-candidate meetings, etc. People have also said various jaw-dropping things on the record at formal public hearings, of course.[/quote]
You attend both community association meetings and HOA meetings? Right…..[/quote]

Not on the same evening, obviously.[/quote]
Nice fantasy. [b]If you have a community association then you don’t have a HOA.[/b] Also, neither a community association nor an HOA meeting would be a public meeting. Have any other stories?[/quote]

This statement is factually incorrect.

[/quote]
Okay, where do you live that has both a community association and HOA?[/quote]

on the left, click the box for "civic and home owner associations"

However, you're also operating on faulty assumptions, including:

1. the only people who ever go to a community association or HOA meeting are residents of that community association or HOA
2. people never move

When you go to a lot of meetings attended by members of the public, you quickly learn that members of the public say a lot of things you wouldn't have thought anybody even believed, let alone would say in public.[/quote]
Neither are open to the public. Thanks for wasting everyone’s time with your fantasies. [/quote]

I'm starting to think you've never been to any community association or HOA meetings?[/quote]
If showed up to my monthly community association meeting and you were not a member you’d be asked to leave. HOAs are private organizations, so again the meetings are not open to the public. You seem to have invented a story in your head that doesn’t match reality because, obviously, you don’t have any experience. Or you could just clear all of this up and name the HOA and community association meetings that you attend and where you claim to have heard these comments. Not sure why you think lying about mundane things is clever, but I’m not holding my breath. [/quote]
