Tons of perfectly fine things that don't really bother anyone are not allowed because wealthy people don't like the aesthetics.
- jandrese 7y ago"Don't like the aesthetics" is code for "it attracts minorities and the poor." The primary reason they or their direct ancestors moved out of the city in the first place was to get away from "those people".
- gronfr1 7y ago"It attracts minorities and the poor" is wokespeak for "It drives up the crime rate, lowers the value of the property you're still paying mortgage on, makes it less safe to go out at night, and makes it more likely that your child will accidentally step on a used syringe."
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoThere's a heck of a lot of room for variation between "minorities and poor" and driving up the crime rate. The blue collar dude with five cars and a project boat in his yard is totally unwelcome as far as the "muh property values" types care. He's not driving up the crime rate or leaving used needles around though.
