    Someone posted the cheapest house in the area recently. It’s $350k~, would require a $90k/year income to get a mortgage, is totally gutted, and has no legal road access. The NIMBYs around here are dead-set on never allowing development over 4 floors with only luxury apartments being built.

    No compassion, no compassion, no excuses shrug-outta-hecks

      Few things politically ACTIVATE suburban voters into a frothing rage like a proposed new apartment complex or light rail extension.

        It’s so bizarre they think some new transit means poor people are going to come rob them in the middle of the night. Nobody wants to be in your little shithole you fuckin weirdos. But they’ll torture themselves with hour long commutes for decades to make sure they never see a non-white person outside the safety of their suburban assault vehicle.

          this is why Marin doesn’t have BART, they didn’t want poor people to be able to get there without a really long bus ride.

            And wtf are poor people going to do other than get profiled and arrested for existing? Poor people aren’t dumb, they’re not going to endanger themselves by entering enemy territory.
