They're building a 650 unit apartment complex that will feed into my kids' school district and will include some units for low income. This used to be a semi rural area.

No cultcha. Low to no crime.

This is a very affluent area. There are not many jobs here. It's total bullshite that these cities are bussing their problems into our neighborhoods.

We have good public schools but they're going to frick it all up. Pisses me off.

People are fighting but I don't see how it will get stopped. Just ranting really.

Anyone have experience stopping shite like this?

You should support education reform that doesn't pay for local schools with local property taxes and instead treats all of our students equally, and then parents seeking good education for their children won't have to move to your neighborhood

Unfortunately, federal and state governments have tied municipal funding to accepting lower income housing. It's insidious, but here we are.

All part of the Obama/Holder plan to bring the inner city to the suburbs.

Kind of dealing with that where I live. Buy the place and a year later I'm just watching apartment complexes get built on the same road. I wonder who's gonna update all the infrastructure, but then get depressed when the local government will rolling in it and spend it on useless shite programs for shite people.

Whoever owns the land can do what they want with it.

This is capitalism. This the free market. Quit crying like a bitch, earn more money and move, or do whatever it takes to keep your family in a nice area.

If you are a broke loser or a lazy loser, I have no compassion for you.

I seriously doubt that these people are moving for education. It's for free rent in a brand new apartment that they can destroy

If I could go back in time, I would tell JP government to only zone everything as R1, those apartments they built in the 70's and 80's are pretty much slums now.

The cities are full and they have to put all the illegals somewhere.

Broke losers don't live in nice areas typically. So basically just have to play the white flight game every 10 years?
