Why Don't Liberals Ever Build Affordable Housing in Nice Neighborhoods?

They always build these in super poor areas.
I think Liberals need to start building projects in nice Liberal neighborhoods.

They have, it's called Mixed-Income housing and it works as well as you can imagine.

A high rise no rent in Beverly Hills should get the hypocrites freaking Out..
It’s not fair that they’ve profited off social and racial injustice so others should get to experience living there
Please let this happen

If I point out liberal hypocrisy one more time maybe it will make a difference

They tried to start that under Obama. Trump's HUD secretary nixed the program.

Seriously, I would love to see it.

I believe they have this shite in SF through state and local zoning laws.
I think the general effect has been to severely restrict the amount of housing built in the city, as few developers want to have low cost housing mixed in with their developments, which in turn keeps pressure up for the rest of the housing bubble.

This is basically what happened to the City of New Orleans from the mid 60s on up. Despite the shitty mayor the city is slowly coming back through gentrification.

Didn't HUD under Obama come up with some policies to push affordable housing into the burbs?

Where did you get this idea?
They LOVE to put sec8 near nice neighborhoods and that is their desire.

After Katrina, they built a lot of these “mixed income” developments in order to game the federal government for interest free loans and non-refundable grants. They built a bunch of big developments in niceish neighborhoods like American Can, Blue Plate Artist Lofts, and South Market. The Section 8 folks were a major problem for the paying tenets, so as soon as the developers’ deals with the feds had met their term, the section 8 tenets were kicked out. On the flip side, developments where the Section 8 tenets ran off all the other paying people went full section 8 and are now back to being their pre-Katrina slummy self just in a newer building.

If they must build them in nice neighborhoods, progressives prefer to build them in right leaning areas.

We have a proposal for this going on across the street from my house.
They are going to be displacing 2 businesses and an old Hispanic lady.
They swear our property values won't decline when they bring in 60% subsidized rent tenants into an otherwise upper middle class neighborhood.
These dipshits want to build a 180 units apartment block on a 100 year flood plan in an area that experienced flooding from Harvey and spend upwards of $30 million dollars and take a $29 million loan @ 5% that they cannot ever refinance and they cannot sell the property for 30 years.
If approved, the place will be a shithole inside of 5 years because all their capital and rents will be eaten up by debt service and insurance.
But all in the name of MUH fairness and MUH equality.
frick all these braindead, dipshit politicians that vote for these idiotic and failed policies.
