[quote=Chico23231;1285420]I don’t know the story but if any local government lied to get federal money than that’s wrong under any rule. I really don’t think race had anything to do with it..it’s a liberal county, votes blue. I think it’s more a population density or just a nimby issue.

But I really do think think the federal government doesn’t have any business forcing re zoning laws to build high rise or lots of apartments…It’s more of an eye sore, traffic and population density issues.

Ill never forget I worked with a super liberal who knows Tim Kaine…the amount of hell she raised when an abandon mall project was to install affordable housing near her. All those progressives bitched and complained, finally stopped it. NIMBY always with the libs[/quote]

"I worked with a super liberal lady who knows Tim Kaine - she's all for progressive causes until they tried to turn an old mall into affordable housing. She represents all liberals imo"

[quote=SunnySide;1285449]Huh .. youre just repeating carlsons lie here.

Westchester wasnt forced to do anything. This was a grant for the specific purpose of helping communities maintain and develop low to moderate income housing. If you dont have low to moderate housing .... great but dont apply for grant money and lie on the forms saying you do.

Want to remain as a high income single family community? Great good for you ... but dont apply for low to moderate grant programs and play victim when you get caught.

Chico .. you dont have any kids but on your tax forms you claim a dependent child. IRS finds out a few years later .. I guess you and tucker carlson would start crying saying Obama made you have a baby.

Youre my boy chico but tucker carlson was 100% full of shit on this one to try and twist so much around just so he could say "obama bad" .. democrats want to destroy your white suburbs .. democrats want to steal votes

your better than this ... no one can defend tucker carlson here[/quote]


I’ll ask it another way, does Biden administration support the federal government oversight and influence on state and local municipalities zoning laws?

Yes or no?


yes I agree liberal Westchester county or any county for that matter should not lie about about block grant money or any tax payers federal money. I never disputed that…I never dispute tucker bent the truth here. Of course he never said anything about race, that’s your opinion.

But also the gentrification of large liberal cities…seems a lil hypocritical not to speak to it as that has actual evidence of minorities being forced out of communities.

1. Does Biden support feds influencing local zoning laws? I really dont know, ideally the fed would worry about fed stuff and anything not enumerated to the fed is state rights.

it seems any time fed money is going to local municipalities .. feds put in conditions as well as fed law must be followed even if it contradicts state or local law.

Big dumb general analogy might be I donate money but put in there "must only be used for benches in elm park" or something like that. fed money comes with riders.

Thats not a biden or trump or obama or nay president thing.

2. Gentrification of city spaces and displacement of the cities low income families who have been there generationally ... I have read a good bit on this. DC gives a really good local example.

DC Wharf development is a great example. A once crappy area gets bought up a big money developer who wants to build those mega developments with the wegmans and starbucks and restaurants on street level then million dollar condos above.

The low income people get bought out or displaced bc of rising taxes or rent etc.

Problem is there is no affordable housing for them. So they move to PG County which is now called Ward 9.

DC and cities like SF and others offer these big money developers incentives to include low to moderate income. Its not forced on them, its incentives to do so. DC offered the Wharf people a discount on the land sale, taxes etc and now the wharf has a percentage of affordable housing. NOT section 8 or no income people housing but affordable housing.

Cities are trying to retain their generational family connection while also encouraging development and tax revenue expansion.

Cities are in a tight spot. On the one hand, they want places like the Wharf to be developed into friendly, family fun spaces that bring in revenue .. but dont want to see all their low income families be pushed to the streets or burbs.

Drove through baltimore this weekend and my old neighborhood Locust Point has a zillion upscale tall condo buildings put up, I could barely recognize it. But its all concentrated to these small areas ... then we ended up in some non gentrified parts and the roads are shit, dudes with their dicks literally hanging out walking into traffic ...

My "burb" is mixed, have an apartment complex a football throw from my front door and thats where all the fast food trash, broken alcohol bottles etc come from.

I do hope to move into a single family home not around section 8 in the next few years.

Dang brother ... did you read the article?

I dont know Reich and dont give a shit about defending him but ..this article is about whether this single home in berkeley should be preserved as historic landmark or developed into like a 5 unit duplex.

Reich supported the 130 year old house as being designated a historic landmark

AND

said the [B]proposal would include exactly 1 low income unit. [/B]

This article is a very poor choice to examine or discuss low or affordable housing in major cities.

I 100% agree with your premise .. people support low income housing .. until low income housing comes to their street. Then its "oh fuck no". I wish I had affordable housing arund my house, I got straight up section 8 and it sucks. Littering and loittering non stop.

Denmark prided itself on being open and accepting and tolerant of other cultures .. then muslim immigrants started showing up and they are passing special rules for "non-western" immigrants.

1. Yes the Biden administration supports federal forcing zoning laws. That’s a yes and it’s wrong.

2.Here clear evidence of gentrification: City’s are in a tight spot…so forcing out minority to PG is fine. Federal forcing zone issue..Suburbia is “racist” (somehow?) because they won’t allow apartments built into their neighborhood.

Your take up for a lying coward like Reich because he is a liberal who says one thing and does the complete opposite.

1. Look at the house…that’s of historical significance? It’s falling down trash and we can easily see they are using a loophole.

2. Funny how we aren’t aligning with the activist in the story who is claiming minorities have been historically forced out of this area and have an opportunity to change that with this project…they wouldn’t be involved if that wasn’t the case or are they just lying?

3. Reich refusing to speak and when asked saying only 1 unit if deemed affordable. This is the proposal to get plans on books for vote and not the final plan..he is looking for an out because he knows he’s being a hypocrite per the usual. If Reich was honestly a proponent for affordable housing he would support the project and demand most units be “deemed” affordable housing. You don’t do what he is doing.

This is a perfect example..white progressives using an bad faith loophole to keep out housing you want the federal government to impose.

This is like the Black Lives Matter ceo buying the mansion in 98% white elite neighborhood. When your actions do this, it’s tells everyone your not a serious person…no body pushing the lie of white supremacy moves into the the whitest neighborhood in Florida.

The article you posted was about 1 old house built pre 1900s that a developer wanted to take down and build a 5 unit duplex thing.

Im sure there are much better situations and articles to be a medium for the pros and cons of affordable housing.

I posted a long article about the Wharf development in DC that has a lot more meat on the bone if we wanted to chew on the pros and cons of affordable housing and gentrification.

Gentrification, white flight and now the white return ... that interests me for the sociology and nature of humans approach .... I really dont give a shit about trying to score political points on here or defending some dude I dont know who wrote a letter about 1 old house in a city all the way across the country.

I was in Bethany Beach this weekend with my brother who just bought a beach house for 620k about 5 miles from the beach. And he didnt even view or look at the house before buying it. Bought it online. Some of his buddies also bought beach houses this summer, one bought a 1.5M beach house.

It was stunning to spend time with the "haves" of the world. I bought my townhouse for 240k ... imagine having income to just buy a beach house for 620k to 1.5M just because.

I hated Trump and did play the "us v them" when he was president .. but now? man i really really really dont give a shit about defending a D.

It’s a bad look per the usua from Reich, if he was a champion of the cause he woulda demanded most were low income and not a weak letter of support. But again the federal government should have no business blackmailing local municipalities to change zoning laws under any circumstances. In the county I grew up in, which is deeply red and extremely well managed, have always built affordable housing and have partnered with agencies to provide it…it’s well plan and space was carved out that made sense…near buslines and places that provide services which accommodate the community. The narrative of suburbia is racist cause they don’t want high density properties…just shows the lack of understanding by elite progressives about the community itself.

Again .. what I bolded is just Tucker Carlsons opinion and the Westchester story he used to try and substantiate his opinion Ive shown he had the actual facts completely wrong.

If you share Tucker Carlsons unsupported hyperbole ... cool, your opinion.

No one is pushing this narrative that the suburbs are racist .. except Carlson. Ive noticed a conservative PR push to try and make it seem like democrats are "going after" suburbia ... seems like you agree and will be a good soldier and repeat ad nauseum these contrived conservative talking points as some sort of "us v them" rallying cry.

Clay Travis, founder of Outkick.com, spoke with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on "Fox & Friends" about the ongoing issues plaguing the NBA and the Tokyo Olympics. He said the NBA is pivoting from their "woke" campaign after seeing two years of bad ratings and warned of "nervousness" surrounding the Olympics amid looming fears of COVID-19.

CLAY TRAVIS: This is the go woke, get broke synopsis year. Last year, worst ratings of all time for the NBA. This year, second worst ratings all time. It's not a coincidence. They went political. Now they're trying to George Costanza-style pretend it never happened. There was almost zero politics this year. That's going to be tough.

Fox News fails to mention that the Daytona 500 and Masters posted their lowest tv numbers this year.

I dont understand why sports viewing is down across all sports, I imagine DVR and so many non-sports streaming options ... but its funny to see Fox News try and make it seem like its a result of backlash to "woke" sports by isolating the NBA and Olympics.

All sports viewing are way down.

There are very few sites you can trust right or left, even NPR has had it's problems. Best to go to foreign sites from non English speaking countries (Al Jazeera is actually pretty good as long as you aren't watching/reading about middle east issues). In the US the Wall Street Journal is by far the most trustworthy (luckily Murdoch kept his hands off their reporting and opinion pages-it really is a big drop off after them) then NPR and NRO. All TV news has become untrustworthy.

"...............News in America used to be fun to talk about, fun to joke about, interesting to think about. Now it’s an interminable bummer, because the press business has taken on characteristics of that other institution where talking, joking, and thinking aren’t allowed: church. We have two denominations, both as fact-averse as real churches, as is shown in polls about, say, pandemic attitudes, where Americans across the board consistently show they know less than they think.

Surveys found a third of Republicans think the asymptomatic don’t transmit Covid-19, or that the disease kills fewer people than the flu or car crashes. But Democrats also test out atrociously, with 41% thinking Covid-19 patients end up hospitalized over half the time — the real number is 1%-5% — while also wildly overestimating dangers to children, the percentage of Covid deaths under the age of 65, the efficacy of masks, and other issues.

This is the result of narrative-driven coverage that focuses huge amounts of resources on the wrongness of the rival faith. Blue audiences love stories about the deathbed recantations of red-state Covid deniers, some of which are real, some more dubious. A typical Fox story, meanwhile, might involve a woman who passed out and crashed into a telephone pole while wearing a mask alone in her car. Tales of each other’s stupidity are the new national religion, and especially among erstwhile liberals, we take them more seriously than any religion has been taken in the smart set in a long, long time............."

Katie Couric’s RBG Coverup

mainstream media’s credibility took another big hit this week. Katie Couric, the former co-host of NBC’s Today show, revealed in a new memoir that she chose not to air some controversial comments made to her five years ago by the sainted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, involving RBG’s criticism of NFL players like Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem.

Couric says she was “conflicted” because she was a “big RBG fan,” so she only aired some of the harsh words RBG had for the football players refusing to stand for the national anthem. Couric confesses in her book that she “‘wanted to protect’ Ginsburg and felt that the issue of racial justice was a ‘blind spot’ for her.”


Not really surprising for the mainstream media

An amazing article documenting the msm wrong on these big stories:

2016 election. Rittenhouse. Covington. Russian collusion. Vaccines. Bounties on US soldiers. Lab-leak theory. Jussie Smollett. The Pulse shooting. The Atlanta shootings. Hunter Biden laptop. Inflation. Steele Dossier.

The MSM got every single one wrong.

In case after case, the US MSM just keeps getting it wrong.

Come in here and explain why the mainstream media got all these stories wrong and explain why you still believe anything they say?
