First off, Taake is not a "guy" it's an entire band, secondly it doesn't matter if they're an underground group, they've had their tour dates cancelled out of a witch hunt created by extremists and that's sets a dangerous precedent regardless of how you feel about the group itself or which way you lean politically . People wearing Taake shirts who just wanted to see a band they enjoyed were fucking assaulted by antifa members because of witch hunt they created. Are you going to defend that too? --- |

The landlord can sell (or demolish) from underneath you, or jack up the rent when it's time to renew the lease, and you're pretty much screwed. That doesn't address a single point I brought up at all. Questionmarktarius posted... Here's a simple question: Because most trailer parks are on trash land nobody else would buy and are usually in lower income areas overall. Areas that are being gentrified like the Bywater, CBD and Treme have close proximity to areas like the Quarter and Mardi Gras parade routes that make then worth gentrifying And that's an RV park for people traveling with campers or RVs to stay the night almost nobody lives there aside from the people who run the place/owners --- |

Only a deluded redhat would consider pawshops and liquor stores to be things designed to help the poor. Questionmarktarius posted... If there's profit in it, it will happen. Just figure out why it's unprofitable to build cheap housing, and work around it. Because poor people have less money than rich people, that's the only fucking reason. It's not that it's unprofitable, it's that it's not profitable enough. Why would you make reaosnably priced housing for some money when you can make condos for a shitload more money? This is why unless forced, nothing will ever be done for the poor because it doesn't make enough money to cream your pants dreaming about it, so why do it?

| ZombiePelican 02/24/18 4:22:34 AM #54 | Balrog0 posted... What is your alternative solution to the affordability crisis? It's a simple one actually, build something other than condos and actually take an inventive to help the poor and working class instead of sitting on them because it lines their pockets more. Balrog0 posted... You can only maintain this opinion because you are discounting my actual personal experience with this Because you don't have one, other than leering at poor minorities near the fence of your gated community Balrog0 posted... resolving the cognitive dissonance that maybe someone who disagrees with you isn't just a shill for the rich. Because that's what you are. You can dance around it as much as you like but at the end of the day this is the mega rich shitting on the ultra poor and no amount of quoting pointless shit like stock prices will change that you're defending exactly that Balrog0 posted... I don't understand the question; if you're asking if I would openly oppose inclusionary zoning policies like this one, then yes I would and I would explain why like I am doing right here and now. So you'd openly admit when being quoted verbatim for an article what you're doing is specifically designed to fuck over the poor to benefit the rich for the sake of lining your own pockets? Questionmarktarius posted... I'm assuming ghettoes, until proven otherwise. And you somehow think destroying the homes of the poor to make room for more housing for rich people will bring down rent prices somehow? Questionmarktarius posted... The bigger question we need to ask is: why isn't it viable for private developers to build "affordable" housing without being forced to do so? Greed. Affordable housing doesn't line the pockets of local politicians like condos do and even then do you think poor people ever had a chance even if the politicians weren't crooked? Unless forced to, almost nobody will take inventive to help the poorest of poor public or private --- |

| ZombiePelican 02/24/18 4:22:09 AM #53 | Balrog0 posted... the overall housing stock is going to up because the height requirement allows for there to be more total units Again, take your cold calculated Wall st. bullshit and shove it up your fucking ass Nothing is being built other than condos, what the fuck about this so hard to comprehend? The number of affordable units keeps going down and the number of outrageously priced units keeps going UP. If you somehow think that rent prices will magically fall with less poor people have affordable places to live because of some arbitrary contrived math that only benefits the super rich, then you're fucking delusional and need to fucking go outside of your gated community before talking to me about this shit Balrog0 posted... therefore the new housing stock will be bought up by the rich, allowing the overall cost of housing to go down as they reallocate themselves into luxury units Stock price only benefits rich people who already own property or stocks which this might be a surprise to you are few and far between when compared to normal working and poor people who are losing their homes to rich asshole who probably already have multiple homes elsewhere. Balrog0 posted... allowing the overall cost of housing to go down as they reallocate themselves into luxury units If you think landlords will magically start charging less because there's more condos than affordable housing units, you're pretty delusional Balrog0 posted... I understand it is a difficult process to understand relative to the people who are losing their housing now. No the fuck you don't. You've proven you can only parrot Fox News articles on gentrification without coming up with an actual original thought Balrog0 posted... But there is plenty of research to show this is the case, and the places where displacement is a smaller problem are the places where they allow new market rate housing to be built. Your research only benefits the mega rich is the problem you fail to understand. It comes off as out of touch and flat out detached from the outside world as you quote some arbitrary price as if that somehow will get my friends their homes back after being priced out of the neighborhoods they and their families were born and raised in for generations til now. Balrog0 posted... . They would make things even worse for the poor if you didn't allow them to build condos This......is a real post...oh my god..... I'm not saying condos can't be built, my problem is condos are ALL that's being built with nothing being done for the poorest of poor who lose their homes to the richest of rich. If you can't understand how that's a problem, then you really are a hollow shell of a person --- |

Making shit up for internet brownie points isn't helping your cause Balrog0 posted...
Because that makes no fucking sense in any way, when you continually bulldoze the homes of poor people to make room for housing for rich people while making almost no new affordable housing all that does is displace people How does taking away from the poor giving them anything? Balrog0 posted... yeah and they are gonna come in anyway, that is my whole point And that's not a good fucking thing is my point, rich asshole coming and buying everything up only makes shit worse for the poorest of poor who are getting the shaft in all this as their comes get bulldozed to make room for fucking condos Balrog0 posted...
You can take your dronish Wall st rhetoric and shove up your ass. I won't go out of my way to defend the mega rich shitting in the ultra poor like you're doing. They didn't have to put nothing but housing for rich people where housing for poor people once lived, they could have put reasonably priced apartments and houses after tgey demolished all that damaged housing after Katrina but NOPE that doesn't line the pockets of the crooks who run this city so it's now condos condos condos as far as the eye can see Balrog0 posted... PR for who or for what? Sensible urban policies? Would you when knowingly being quoted make it openly known you squashed an incentive to help the poor people in favor of helping extremely rich people who literally need no help? --- |

This is universal across all cities that are adding people, and building condos doesn't make it harder to afford housing Yes it does, there's literally a finite amount of space and if more and more is becoming condos and less and less is becoming affordable housing what the fuck do you think will be the result? Oh wait, what's currently happening now with locals who've lived in areas for decades priced out by assholes who aren't even from here
They want nothing but housing for rich people and that's the fucking problem you can't you seem to comprehend let alone give even a single shit about because you seem to think only though cold calculation like some kind of android How the city council unanimously squashed an initiative designed to help POOR people in favor of the RICH to get rid of more low income housing in favor of more condos as rent prices continue to fucking skyrocket and available affordable housing in No dangerous neighborhoods becomes more scarce That pushes people out much more quickly than building new housing does. No, rich people coming in and buying everything and raising the price of rent and basic amenities to unaffordable levels pushes people out more than anything. How, exactly, is that an incorrect statement? I had to translate it from his bullshit PR filter and how fucked up and horrible it is when not put through that --- |

| ZombiePelican 02/23/18 2:15:34 PM #33 | Balrog0 posted... there is, actually, even if they are doing that which is probably not actually the case That's literally what's happening here. Every single condo along St.Charles in the CBD used to be public/ low income housing the got damaged after Katrina and those who actually managed to stay need up being priced out with their business or houses getting demolished to make room for condos. You've literally never been here once and if you did you never left The Quarter or suburbs so quit talking like you know anything Balrog0 posted... for low-income renters as opposed to the one that they had before Low income renders can't afford condos and that's all that's being built is what you fail to understand prettyprincess posted... displacing criminals instead of evaluating their living/economic systems just displaces the crime They know that, that's just the convenient excuse they use to displace poor/minorities to line their own pockets. Like when they demolished the housing projects here after Katrina, structurally they were all fine and just needed plumbing and electrical work but the city used the fact they were hives of crime and violence as an excuse to get rid of them and now all that violence is all over the city in areas where it never used to be --- |

Between the government dragging their feet in helping and politicians pocketing most of the money very little was actually done to help the poorer of locals in fact many flat out had their homes demolished regardless of condition and had nowhere else to go.
