Background: I grew up and spent my young adulthood in poverty. I used a hypothetical character from The Simpsons, but I have in mind some very much non-hypothetical characters, including some who threatened my family after I complained about their playing loud music with a subwoofer in the wee hours of the morning. Nowadays, I've clawed my way out of poverty, and I pay a (very large) premium to have a house where I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff any more. I'm sympathetic to the problem of housing affordability (duh: I've been on the other side), but before you address that, you have to come up with a reasonable alternative solution to make sure the people who like partying all night go in one place and the people who like sleeping all night go in another place. Nothing to do with race or class, and it's super unfortunate that in our capitalist society, class is the only proxy for accomplishing that cultural distribution.
