What makes a neighorhood “hardscrabble” is hardscrabble people.
The upcoming SCOTUS ruling on the use of “disparate impact” and statistics has been flying under the radar, overshadowed by King vs Burwell and Same-Sex Marriage.
But it’s just as important. If the government is prohibited from using statistical methodologies, as opposed to actual examples, to identify where racial discrimination exists and try to correct it, it makes it much harder to implement things like this.
And this is about a resident who decided to throw a end of the year party totally disregarding the rules for membership at the private neighborhood pool (she got a DJ, food, drinks and sent invites online) that is restricted to the neighborhood residents who PAY for it's upkeep, lifeguards, etc. And the place was overrun. RACE had nothing to do with it (a mob showed up where they were not allowed). Period.
Baltimore diversity
Put one next to Babs’ house in Malibu.
Stalin would be proud.
Actually, it might be fun to see so many of those RINO northeastern wealthy areas have this shoved down their throats:
Greenwich
Darien
Chappaqua . . .
Potomac
Merion
Could be fun . . .
Yes, I’ve lived under two HOAs and agree with your assessment. Rampant cronyism, and an emphasis on nitpicking stupid things to death (how DARE you replace a dead shrub without going through the Review Board!) while strenuously avoiding elephants in the room.
Once again we focus on the symptoms of a dysfunctional society and conveniently ignore the root causes.
Of course, the root causes are not politically correct topics, so truthful discussion is not possible.
I knew this was coming. We used to be able to get away from the crime and hatred. He’s setting it up in our neighborhoods, paid for by us.
"NOVATO (CBS SF) After George Lucas ran into a buzzsaw of opposition from his wealthy Marin County neighbors when he tried to expand his Skywalker Ranch studio, the filmmaker might be getting some payback with plans for one of the largest affordable housing projects in the Bay Area.
Lucas, the Star Wars creator is offering his own property in west Marin County off Lucas Valley Road near Novato for the project, with plans for a community of 224 homes right where neighbors said no to his studio expansion.
He said weve got enough millionaires here. What we need is some houses for regular working people, Lucas lawyer Gary Giacomini said.
Lucas says he will pay for the project himself...."
No, silly, this isn’t intended for the elites.
Isn’t this what used to be called “Block busting” back in the 1950s and 1960s?
Realtors would sell a home to a black couple in a white neighborhood, decreases property values, causes whites to flee and the realtors snap up the houses at very low prices for resale to the blacks.
I remember some nice neighborhoods that went from nice to slums almost overnight.
No, they show anyone with more than two working brain cells why some cultures (not races, cultures) are incompatible with others.
No it's not.
Obama has practiced Quartering criminal illegals
with incurable diseases, already.
Now he will target his enemy: Americans.
“Wonder how long itll be before Obama starts ordering single family homeowners to give up their spare bedrooms for poor families?
Likely the administration will simply issue and executive order allowing HUD to target specific “affluent” neighborhoods and then use federal funds to buy houses in those neighborhoods, as they come on the market. The purchased houses can then be sold or rented at a reduced price to people who could not normally afford them. Likely the beneficiaries of this program will be selected with the help of community organizers and activists to ensure the new communities are blessed with new neighbors who will bring the provide the complete urban experience.
