I think it’s crazy how liberals oppose gentrification.

Decades ago, During the height of “white flight” , radical left types said whites were racist for moving away from changing neighborhoods.

Now that we see many old city neighborhoods being refurbished through gentrification, now the liberal types oppose mostly white people.moving back in as the neighborhoods are renovated.

Sometimes you can’t win with the liberal leftist types. Whites moving out was bad, and now whites or wealthier people moving back in is bad.

While she may be an easy target for conservatives, she is apparently loved by the 35 and under crowd who want free things.

They claim to be for the people. They lie.

But-but-but I thought AOC couldn’t AFFORD to move to DC, like it was so EXPENSIVE she couldn’t come up with the necessary deposits.

There is a lot of marginal housing over in Arlington, she could have looked there....

Or maybe that was never an option.

“Would like to know who’s paying for it?”

At $174k a year she can more than afford it, even the three bedroom apt. If it is uncovered someone other than herself is paying for it, she will have a lot of explaining to do. Not that anyone supporting her will be listening.

The dirty secret: when the people that ruined those neighborhoods are pushed out and move to new neighborhoods, those are ruined too. There is never case I can think of where things get better after such a scenario plays out. But on the other hand, since everywhere they go inevitably succumbs to decay, rot and crime, they never really lose out on the deal. Every place is the same for them.

Were these luxury apartments built using SOLAR POWERED CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ?

Are they burning TREES in those fireplaces ?

[AOC’s] controversial Green New Deal proposal promises “Safe, affordable, adequate housing” for all.

Typical elusive Dims.

Just what is ‘safe, affordable, adequate’ housing and who gets to define the terms?

How much do the taxpayers get to subsidize to make it so?

Sounds like the Agora Collective at 800 Jersey Ave SE. The building motto (no joke) is ‘COLLECTIVELY WE CAN CONQUER. COLLECTIVELY WE THRIVE’. The rent is $2155 to $3460.

Well, someone has to fix that right away. EVERYONE who wants a 'better life' can just force their way in-like they do across the border. Break into that estate, that compound, that luxury apartment building. They should be welcomed, hell,even celebrated for demanding entrance. Walls, doors, locks etc. are immoral and should be destroyed, Alexandra baby.
Live the dream!!

Such a typical commie... immediately thinks she's a party boss, part of the nomenklatura, an apparatchik. When is she going to demand her dacha on the Black Sea?

I wonder why didn't she move to this affordable condo ($30,000) at 20 Chesapeake SE, Washington, DC. 1 Beds 1 Baths 950 Sq ft.

I wish people would let up on AOC a little bit...

I don't think you need to worry (I'm not sure you were being serious). As long as it is the deplorables and wealthy old guard white liberals doing the criticizing, AOC will be fine. Her base will interpret this as "she must be over the target if she is getting so much flak."

Yes, what you said. It is downright IMMMORAL to keep people out of the building or the individual apartments. They just want a chance for a better life!
