Because every neighborhood needs its own ghetto. Mayor Wilhem won't be happy until NYC turns into Detroit.
Isn’t that going to drive away some of the tax base?
Not to be confused with moving the poor into the neighborhoods of the politicians that push this. The Kennedys were all for green technology and huge grants for wind turbines, but not when it came to their back yard.
What could go wrong?
The hood has moved to the burbs in Houston. Loft building in mid-town has pushed the section 8 slum lords out to new fields. It isn’t working out well.
Same thing was done in France. The old slums remain and old nice areas are now slums.

Yes it will. But these liberals have trouble with their reasoning ability. They have trouble predicting what could happen if they move ahead with their plans. They have trouble with the concept that people’s behavior can change, based on what they see happening in their city and their neighborhood.
And the liberals can’t conceive at all, that somebody might move out of their city altogether, to avoid this social engineering.
It’s for the good of the little people./s
I read something about this...a national move to make all neighborhoods more economically similar. Leftist totalitarians, of course.
“some”?
You’re being an optimist, methinks ...
They do that here in Maryland and its social engineering/redistribution for sure.
Many flee West only to be stuck in traffic jams trying to get to work, also a lack of utilities like natural gas.
And the liberals can’t conceive at all, that somebody might move out of their city altogether, to avoid this social engineering.

You assume that people will continue to have freedom.
Then the “more affluent” will leave and the ghetto lords will have the whole place to themselves. Have the dimwits even considered this??
We called it bussing in the 70’s ... THAT worked out well, too
Hey, does anybody still wonder if liberalism is a mental disease or not? Still time to purchase shares in moving companies because if this thing transpires, I predict a lot of wealthy libs leaving the sinking ship to escape the ghetto rats. I hope this does happen...New York libs deserve to get it good...good and hard.
Hey comrade, what kind of neighborhood do the homeowners want? If you want to mess with private property rights to meet your Marxist view of 'diversity', do it in your own damned neighborhood with your own damned money!
Did you write this?
This is something liberal city leaders talk about all the time. I think it’s typically built in some corner of a decent neighborhood that was already blighted. I can think of places on the north side of downtown Denver where they’ve done this. The units there were heavily subsidized and the price was proportional to income, but were unaffordable unless you made no income.
The area around those complexes are being developed much slower than others.
Get out the popcorn and the easy chair. This should be great viewing. Maybe this can be the basis of a network primetime sitcom.
Soon, they’ll be doing this all over the country. The aim is to move these ‘RAT voters into precincts where the vote is close, but still favors conservatives and Republicans; the intent is to turn these precincts blue. Then, after the precincts turn, it’ll be the municipalities, counties and states next. All part of a clever, long term plan to “fundamentally transform” the US into a one party polity.
