...oppose development, it's mostly upper middle class whites
Wait for it...
53% of whites (*support* building more housing)
Your own quote literally belies your claim. A valid conclusion from that source is that "whites support more housing but at lower rates than (other ethnicities)", but that's not opposition.

- raldi 8y agoYou said it "literally belies it", not that it fails to support it.
