IS THIS A GOOD IDEA: EPISODE 1 Let’s talk about community preference…

Lmao this is literally just classic redlining that kept African Americans out of white neighborhoods. You all are literally braindead.

Didn’t we try this in the 40’s - I seem to remember spending called red lining

you just described redlining.

It's literally just another name for discrimination, the thing that you all are always screaming about. Calling it Community preference is the classic Marxist method of using language to skirt the law.

It’s HILARIOUS that Chi is proposing “ Community preference “ for affordable housing units in gentrified neighborhoods, but lets us say we want “Community preferred “ elections and social services , suddenly we’re the fascist 🤣

Jesus Christ. Just build the fucking apartments. No one can lay claim to a neighborhood. If your neighborhood becomes too expensive, you move somewhere else, like has been true for all of human history.

You "should" be able to eat your cake, and you should be able to have your cake too. You "should" be able to get whatever you want with no tradeoffs or hard choices.

Oh wow the new redlining!! This is 100% illegal.

Lets talk about you going back to Africa

"IS THIS A GOOD IDEA: EPISODE 1" It's a 100% guarantee that every episode will consist of bad ideas.

Y’all want to bring back redlining?

"Community preference" should have been scrapped long ago.

chi come hoop with me right there at brower park

This is nativist right wing bullshit man

They reinvented redlining!!!

First, this is an amazing idea and I wish more people knew about this. A lot of people born and raised in New York just want to level up in NYC and not be displaced but the DSA YIMBY group the same people that support you would call you names for not liking gentrification 😂.

yes it's a good idea lol. also, a lot of these *usually left leaning* but mostly centrist, rich, predominately white people are starting to use the term NIMBY against locals who desire community preference and lament super gentrification. which is pretty awful !

nyc has always gone through demographic change over decades in different neighborhoods. it’s just natural. this is some 2020 peak woke era stupidity and i consider myself a progressive

ban people not born in NYC from all existing and new rent stabilized homes. Set strict income thresholds so higher earners and wealthy families don’t slide into rent stabilized homes.

No, no one has a god given right to live in a specific community over anyone else. Or does that only apply to immigrants for you?

Awesome. White people in the UES can make a "community preference" that keeps out the blacks. Then they can keep the character of the neighborhood pristine!

Imagine an old white guy saying the same thing - would you still agree?

Redlining repurposed and repackaged for the 21st century, fucking commies.

the niggas are fans of redlining now lol. i’ve truly seen everything

Anyone have non AI generated pics of all the historic brownstones, streets, subways, underlying infrastructure, being actually physically built by black NYers?

It should’ve never changed. The folks complaining still had a shot at the apartments.

Leftwing economics: "Let's spend the whole day endlessly debating how to divide a pizza into fair slices rather than just making more pizza."

Things have gotten so good these clowns have no come full circle back towards racist policies lmfao. Fucking joke

Let’s apply this same policy in the suburbs. This genuinely new idea that no one has thought of. Let’s use a color to draw a line around these neighborhoods with this policy. Maybe red?

Is this not just redlining with extra steps I’m confused

That doesn't sound very open borders of you

Racism with extra steps

Here is my view: I believe our "affordable" housing is not affordable for many. Let us lower the income to qualify to 10-50% of Area Median Income ("AMI"), or $11,340-$56,700 per year!
