ParticipantMy wife and I are disgusted by the practice of requiring such housing in exchange for issuing permits for upscale developments. One can bust their arse all their life to escape a certain demographic and the planning gods say “no you can’t”.
We were looking at some master plans for Santaluz, for example, and the low income housing is identified.
It is such a turn off to us that in the future we would not buy anywhere near. I’m not sure everyone is willing to be so honest, however.
It may explain the continued attraction and prices of older upscale areas even when the houses are out of date. People aren’t buying the house, they’re buying the demographics of the neighbourhood and schools.

Participant[quote=Arraya][quote=faterikcartman] if George Bush did this what would the reaction of the media and political opposition be? Be honest here.[/quote]
If GWB pushed a “health care” bill I think the media would have a hard time explaining it and I think his base would spontaneously combust.
With that said, I could care less about the constitution. It’s an old irrelevant document and almost time to put it down to rest. I’m more concerned with the motivations for perceived violations.
[quote=faterikcartman] I recommend everyone who isn’t a history buff do a little research on how well the American left loved Mussolini.[/quote]
I’d say you know very little about the American left during the depression.[/quote]
Based on what? The left in the USA loved Mussolini. The fact that some may have changed their minds later does nothing to refute my assertion that they loved him for at least a time. They did.
Moreover, I know that up to half the country, and until recently about half or more of Congress, agrees with you that the Constitution is not something anyone need be concerned with.
This is all fine and dandy when things are going your way. But what protections are there if a charismatic racist white convinces a majority that blacks should be shipped to Africa, or stripped of the vote, or fill in the blank?
I suggest you read up on Edmund Burke, la Terreur, and Federalist No. 10.
