I remember about 20 years ago reading an article in Time magazine (?) where an “environmental” activist admitted that their goal was to stop white people from moving to the suburbs to avoid having to live with blacks. That’s what the campaign against privately owned homes is also all about.
In my area the focus is on transplanting blacks from the urban slums to the suburbs to attach them to taxpaying hosts; the bankrupt cities can no longer provide basic services for them, and their very presence ensures no tax base will return to those cities.
That is why the Amazon debacle played out as it did in NYC; while some people saw jobs, discretionary income, and income taxes (NY state AND NYC income taxes) as worthwhile goals, the parasite population was roused by AOC pointing out they weren’t PAYING THE GIBSMEDATS. They don’t want jobs - they want corporate sugar daddies - and now they still have vacant lots.
