- nullish_signal 4y agoBecause unlike Breakfast and Bedtime, this decision results in a higher density of People. People have the right to decide who to spend time near, and if that can't be exercised by certain groups, then individuals in those groups merely leave and will be called bigots for "white flight".
- pannSun 4y ago> People have the right to decide who to spend time near Unless they choose wrong, in which case the federal government uses legal and economic measures to correct their choices.

- cuteboy19 4y agoNo, there is no such right. Individual freedom trumps all this made up nonsense
- notwokeno 4y agoPeople don't have a right to access other people. It's insane that we've accepted this.

- Blackstrat 4y agoHow are you defining right and good? A person works 60+ hours a week for a couple of decades to select and buy a house in the suburbs and suddenly someone can throw up a duplex or triplex next door? And this is good? Proto-klan? That’s simply ignorant virtue signaling.

- yucky 4y agoAll you're doing is driving wages down and hurting poor people. You're not helping who you think you are.. As illegal immigration increases, so does inequality leading to inevitable results like this. And we all sit and pretend there is no correlation because that would sound mean.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoInequality isn't the inevitable result of anything, that's an outcome we choose.

- mikem170 4y agoFrom the article: > the policy that Charlotte approved last week: abolishing single-family zoning. Charlotte’s Comprehensive Plan prescribes legalizing duplexes and triplexes citywide, giving more people more access to more types of housing in more neighborhoods, and undoing a policy originally intended to circumvent the Supreme Court’s ban on racial zoning by keeping renters out. There are a number of places reversing the dominance of single-family single-use zoning for residential real-estate that has existed for the past several decades. I think this is a good thing. Other countries have been doing this all along and have much more people-friendly neighborhoods, also allowing low-impact businesses to be mixed in with residential, still having rules for height, setbacks, etc. Single-family single-use zoning ended up being convenient for large developers, being the cheapest way for them to turn land on the outskirts of town into profits, with little regard for the people who would live in these corporate-constructed neighborhoods and how far away from everything else in the rest of their lives they would be - the cost of car dependence, the commuting time, the lack of nearby places to socialize, kids far away from their friends, etc. Many of these places are going to have trouble paying their infrastructure replacement costs in the coming decades, there's not enough taxpayers per mile.
