There are so many people who would march in support of homeless and poor, but vote against any legislation to build more low-income housing that would actually help them, because it would also decrease their own houseprices or raise their taxes ever so slightly.
- steveBK123 5y agoThere's also well meaning but poorly thought out activist maximalism. Like blocking new construction of a building on say a former McDonalds site that will be 30% low-income housing. The activists demand it be 50%.. 80%.. 100% or don't build. So sure that would be more low income housing, but it may be above the threshold where its profitable for a developer to take on the project. The delays/fights also may deter developers in that neighborhood generally. Meanwhile - how much low-income housing did the former McDonalds provide?
