I don’t think Obama is talking wealthy as in mega wealthy oligarch neighborhoods because it is they who own him lock stock and barrel.

He’s talking about screwing up average American middle class neighborhoods.

Whites aren’t going to be safe from racial blackmail no matter where they live.

In Oklahoma we make buyers sign a disclosure stating that you are aware of and have read the HOA covenant of restrictions. I understand persons not wanting to be subject to HOA restrictions. I get it and it is a free country and there is plenty of property not subject to those type of restrictions. But yeah, I don’t get people who buy real property subject to those type of restrictions and then get torqued about them.

They automatically assume these “affluent” neighborhoods lead republican. Not true!

The reason people buy in nice neighborhoods is because they can qualify for a mortgage. That means they have a job and they pay their bills on time. My wife and I retired from selling new homes in Texas. Anyone who qualified could buy a house anywhere they wanted.

I agree about what you said.

A little aside, but my parents and grandparents lost their modest, middle-class homes in a free republic to the Bolsheviks/Reds. “Lower-income,” non-Catholic families were literally brought into and assigned their homes. The only “choice” for my father’s family was Siberia or Siberia. They fled in the middle of the night and ended up in one of Hitler’s camps. That was much better for them than what Stalin was planning for them.

I’m a little sensitive about the Communist ruler’s latest plan.

Saw a survey team surveying the 8 wooded acres behind my house. They said the land had been sold and someone was going to build on it but they didn’t know what. He said building won’t start for another year or so. I hope he’s right.

For smaller homes like mine 20 to 30 houses could be built. However, that land had to go for a high price. That means it won’t be feasible to built houses in my price range.

They could build 8 or so houses in the $500,000 and up range. I don’t see that happening but there is a place down the road where they did exactly that.

But, it’s more than likely going to be apartments and possibly Section 8 apartments. Either way, there goes my property value. I’m going to try to get it sold before they start building.

My house is worth around $150,000 to $160,000. Houses on the other side of the property are in the $250 to $300,000 range. They’re really screwed.

You know, I have never seen a person who has cash from being turned away from any home purchase. I have never seen a person turned down for a loan on a house if they had a good job, good credit and the standard down payment (20%).

I hope he’s not that stupid.
First one of those gang banging morons point a 9mm sideways at me, he’s going to take 3 center mass from a 1911 with a crimson trace. Or he, and his buddies are gonna take head shots from any, or all of my hunter neighbors with 30-06’s and scopes.
If they leave the cocoons of their cities, they are going to find out quickly what 13% of the population means.
