No, we shouldn't. I don't want my tax money being wasted on people getting a better place to live. What's next, loners and the elderly should be outcast to the outskirts?
- 0xfaded 7y agoIf tax dollars were spent exactly how each individual tax payers wanted them to be, there would be little point in taxation. And I highly doubt that someone living in public housing who is able to live close to work would see those tax dollars being "wasted". The right to own private property is more or less bought through taxes. If the deal becomes too unfair, you get Trump or Bernie. If the deal becomes untenable, you get guillotines.
- Pfhreak 7y agoWhat? Right now people are being forced to the outskirts. Especially the elderly, the poor, etc. A healthy supply of non commodity housing keeps them in the neighborhood.
