Fun Twitter thread: why should you care if they build a 4-plex in your neighborhood?

Yes, four stacked triplexes with Section 8 renters would ruin the neighborhood. You don't have to imagine, you just have to look literally anywhere.

You want to see what duplexes turn into, take a google maps trip down to the end of Prescott road after Joor
Take a look around

And “who’s living in them” changes over time, much quicker than single family homes

There are some VERY nice duplexes in some VERY nice neighborhoods here so I guess it depends where and who is going to live in them? If they selling them instead of renting them, it prob would be ok.

I live for YIMBY/NIMBY fights. I can't wait until California starts forcing high density housing into rich neighborhoods.

Yea, some of the responses are like:
There’s a four-plex on my street and it’s filled with doctors and investment bankers. What’s the issue?
The issue is we don’t all live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the 4-plex’s in our neighborhood won’t rent for $5k per month.

They won't do that. Not to California rich. That's your tax base.

I could name a dozen fourplexes or 2x2’s around Thibodaux that are in decent areas, ANC’s been nice for 15-20
Years and show no signs of deterioration.
It’s about management more than tenants.

Depends on the neighborhood obviously
But if they are building 4plexes in Prairieville it wont be doctors and lawyers

I lived in those Christian Street Townhomes right behind Ivar's when I was at LSU. At one point I became the unofficial / offical Property Manager because I was poor AF and couldn't make my rent so the landlord made me Prop Mgr in return for cutting me a deal.
We had one vacancy and he approved a Section 8 lady to move in. It was frankly impressive how quickly she brought the entire complex down. She started parking her car directly in front of her door which partially blocked access to the units on either side of her. Never mind her reserved parking space was about twenty feet away. I would knock on her door and point to the space and she would move the car but put it back in front the next time she came home.
We had the police called out for a domestic and then a loud party at her place the second weekend she was there. It got worse from there.
People started moving out and the number of Section 8 renters increased. The property eventually sold, they removed the Section 8 renters, put in a fence and gate and it became the condos it is today.
But I lived through it first hand and it taught me that "mixed income" housing doesn't raise up the less fortunate as Progressives claim. It drives everyone else down to the lowest level. Fact.

Used to work with this black guy who told me he couldn’t wait to get his money right to buy a house in a white neighborhood in the burbs. When I asked him why that was his goal, he told me it was because “you can’t have nice shite in a black neighborhood. They’ll steal your shite”. On the surface it sounds funny, but if you think about it, that’s kind of sad. It taught me an important lesson though. You don’t need to point out to people what’s wrong with their communities, they know. Unfortunately, the loudest, most vocal members do a great job ruining it for everyone.

In St Louis, in South City specifically, the anti-gentrifiers get super butt hurt when someone takes an old duplex that doesn't have anyone living in it and turns it into a huge single that a family moves into.
They claim it's reducing housing stock in the city. Except it's only happening to doubles that are unoccupied. So it's really going from 0 occupants to 1, rather than the 2 to 1 that's being portrayed.
Because low income housing advocates lie and stupid people believe them. And if you call them on their lies you're a racist or some other type of bigot.

There's actually huge fights going on across the state right now as cities are required by state to submit plans that build X number of affordable housing units per year and the big rich cities have been ignoring it.
They have to scramble to get it done now or else builders can just start bypassing city governments and getting plans approved and once approved, there's no stopping them.

They can be very nice for a long time if they're in an urban area that is walkable to job centers.
These bedroom communities building them are dumbasses. They will devolve into section 8 housing full of kids that ruin schools, in no time.
If I were mayor of any bedroom community I would ban new development of anything other than 2000 sqft SFH's that are on .4 of an acre.
