Which county?
Gwinnett, but you can say that about other counties as well.

How many times do I have to tell yall? Your neighborhood would’ve never been built if the first occupants weren’t running from trash. Now they’re bringing the trash to you so you have to go build again. Housing programs are designed to prop up the construction industry.

Where do you live? What form of housing do you call home?

A Biden initiative. They need free housing for all those millions of illegals entering the country every year. They gotta live somewhere.

This was done to Tuscaloosa, in part to the tragic tornado that ripped through in 2011.
Built were numerous apartments in otherwise suburban areas, and now those particular areas are suffering.
Mind you, the real affluent areas of Tuscaloosa, did not get Section 8 apartments built.

You don’t live in an affluent neighborhood if they are putting up section 8 housing, baw

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.
It's called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation
FYI, Obama mandated this, Trump did away with it, then Biden brought it back.
Each new development must have a section dedicated to low income.
HUD revokes Obama-era rule designed to diversify the suburbs
quote:
The Trump administration said Thursday that it is revoking an Obama-era housing regulation designed to eliminate racial disparities in the suburbs, a move that fair housing advocates have decried as an election year stunt designed to manipulate the fears of white voters.
In a tweet addressed to “The Suburban Housewives of America,” President Donald Trump made his intended audience clear. “Biden will destroy your neighborhood and your American Dream,” he said. “I will preserve it, and make it even better!”
Biden brought it back
quote:
In 2021, the White House issued a Memorandum to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, which declared that the affirmatively furthering fair housing provision in the Fair Housing Act, “...is not only a mandate to refrain from discrimination but a mandate to take actions that undo historic patterns of segregation and other types of discrimination and that afford access to long-denied opportunities.” The White House, in 2021, also issued a number of Executive Orders that implicate HUD’s responsibility for implementing the AFFH mandate, including Executive Order 13895, “Advancing Racial Equity for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government” and Executive Order 13988, “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.”

No. It's an actual bill pushed by and passed under Obama. See my post above.
Nothing free market about being forced to include low-income in new developments.

In Western Houston burbs, they're mostly filled with Indians trying to find a house to buy. I don't think we have Section 8 though.

Ideal city would be a good blend of rich, middle, and lower income people in all areas. Saying there are no jobs in your city just means it’s not a real city and just a suburb. Your schools would only be affected if parents stopped being involved. Kids success is much more determined by their parents than the school system. Parents that don’t care ruin the reputation of a school, not the teachers.

There's a thing called zoning... Look it up.
Ha. It’s no coincidence the names you see on mayoral and city council campaign posters are the same you see on construction sites. Zoning isn’t etched in stone.

Just struck your budding shithole off the escape list for when I decide to move from my well established shithole.

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
The problem with education isn’t money; it’s shitty parents, and they will be exporting them too, in case you’re too stupid to realize it.

I know you’ve been shite on plenty, but it’s not enough. The per pupil expenditures in the Baton Rouge area are higher at the shitty schools than they are at the magnets. This isn’t the problem. Lack of parental involvement is a much bigger issue that money can’t solve.

Yea, the Great Reset and 15 minute cities also weren’t a conspiracy theory.

This is not an area built for low income residents.
Y'all should pool some money together and get some land near the CEO of the developer and build some low rent apts near him. I'm sure the company got plenty of money to ruin your area.
This has been going on for a long time now, but people not affected (yet) ignore the people who complain about it. Now there is no one to help you out since it's the dem norm that is set to destroy society.
Add it to the list that we can only hope Trump will find a way to stop, of he wins.
