Obama wants to build housing projects in more affluent areas. I believe San Francisco is a great place to start. Silicone Valley is another great place to build housing projects. Most any affluent liberal mecca would do.

Simple supply and demand. As long as the housing inventory stays as depressed asit currently is the cost of rent and home buying will remain astronomical.

San Fransisco is overdue for its share of vibrant diversity (and that means black people, just like it does everywhere else), HUD better get a move on gettng some “affordable housing” there and moving the vibrancy into it. If it’s good for podunk conservative whiteopia, it’s good for SF.

Hey I got it, they can just pass laws that limit the price of housing and still keep the open space. There, now was that so hard?/s

They not only restrict what land may be built upon, the height of new buildings is also restricted to “preserve the view”.

I agree, but we all know that though this regime may pick a couple of affluent, majority-white areas to scapegoat for their “redistributing” the vibrancy, they aren’t going to actually inflict the vibrancy on the places where they themselves live, work, and play, because if they really wanted to be “fair” in their terms, they’d be building low-cost housing on Martha’s Vineyard and a few other majority-white wealthy white enclaves. No, they’re going to zero in on middle-class areas which are either majority-white, or the largest minority is Asian (honorary white, in spite of their voting majority ‘rat, because they have that honorary white privilege-getting educated, having a work ethic, etc).

Ah. Bless that landlord’s heart for willing to take part in the Section 8 program.

Obama will target his enemies. He will force the future ghetto housing on white conservative areas.

Martha’s Vineyard won’t be a target because obama doesn’t want to be around the ghetto people.

If republicans hold the house and senate, they should be able to control the spending. They shold make sure it is fair and equitable but we know they won’t.

Also, seems it would make sense to put these economic development plans in poor areas where they most need them. Instead, hussein Obama would rather take a shot at whitey.

In our area there are several large properties that can be developed. However, when it comes time to decide what to do with the land the least popular is housing. That's because people don't want to add to the already insane traffic.

From what I remember, the open space land along the 280 is not accessible to anyone.
