Get as far away from big urban areas as fast as your little legs will take you.

You’ve been warned.

Beyond the suburbs...out where i am. Trump country Michigan. Flags everywhere. Lots of guns. Hear practice rounds going off every day.

Maybe one of the well-heeled neighborhood landed gentry should have purchased her mansion as is. Could have avoided all this ‘horror’ of having none-rich (and possibly non WHITE) people living among them.

Correct. I can’t even imagine 60 housing units on 5 acres. WE have 5 acres here with a neighbor 1/4 mile away and I consider that crowded.

“100% affordable” -— That would be “free” by my reckoning.

The place we just sold in NY was on a quarter of an acre and it did not leave us with lot of yard space or privacy.

We did have great neighbors though so that was a blessing. If they had not been, it would have been hellish.

She came real close to buying Olivia Newton John’s house on Jupiter Island years ago. She backed out when a contractor working on the house blew his brains out on ONJ’s back patio.

Jupiter dodged a big, fat bullet there.

That house is very close to Steve Doocey’s and Kid Rock’s houses btw.

Connecticut is trying to put slums (er, sorry, affordable housing) in the toney areas. If I lived in a 4 million dollar mansion, I sure wouldn’t want an affordable housing complex next to me...

Actually New Jerseyans didn’t vote for these affordable housing schemes. They came to being from a court decision (Mount Laurel) that forces every NJ municipality to have a certain amount of affordable housing units based on population.

Developers strongly backed the concept and often they sue towns that have not met their quota. It is called a builders remedy which allows developers to strongarm towns into letting them put in ill conceived and often unwanted developments. The town basically has to green light the developers market rate development as long as the developer sets aside a percentage as “affordable housing”. A suburban township near me just settled a lawsuit brought by a developer who wanted to build a massive development on a farm just outside a small village. The township had fought this development for years because it would dramatically increase traffic and clog the school system. They eventually lost because they did not have enough affordable housing units and the developer offered to build them as part of their much bigger development.

““Everything is out of pocket here,” Schepisi said. “Pay out of pocket for sports, schools… how is somebody with very little income viable to live in this town?””

Well, these people could be a bit GENEROUS with their own money, given how ‘generous’ they are with the money of other people.

My nearest neighbor is almost 3 miles away around the mountain, and I consider that not only crowded, but to damn close!

The wokesters think you are a billionaire if you have a quarter-acre lot with a 1,600 foot ranch house. They believe you didn’t earn it and should share it with the more deserving.

Of course it is ridiculous. It is utterly ridiculous. But it is real. They are gunning for all private property ownership and want nobody to have any more than anybody else.
