Maybe “Black Power” can figure it out. I doubt it though.
I’m going to go be white. Eat some cottage cheese out of a cantaloupe half, and drink apple juice while watching 90210 reruns...

Kickbacks and bribes are not optional in a city run by criminals. Sorry!

That they can.
I hear land is really cheap in Liberia though.
Nothing but Black Power there. Wakanda is somewhere around there too.

Here are some black people building apartments for their own family, on their own land, adding four units to the housing pool. They aren't using welfare or government "programs". It's an innovative private family project to create more affordable housing in a traditionally black neighborhood.
Instead of winning an award, the government is penalizing them so that the government can build more "affordable" housing.
The government is disincenivizing the creation of new affordable housing because … Karl Marx.

Affordable means affordable to live in (maybe), not affordable to build.
Developers and the state are assumed to have limitless money.

I’m glad she is publicizing it, and it may do no good, but maybe if she has a decent congressperson, she should enlist their help.

Is she a democRAT? Does she vote for democRATs?
If yes to either, STFU and embrace the suck.

Maybe the city and county government would rather pay muli-millions for a dilapidated 15 room motel? The cost per unit would cover this family's building.

Well well well, black does not cut it. We are serfs, including the black people.
Welcome to the world of the “little people of flyover country” whatever your race may be.
