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

Ok who’s living in them?
This. Those don’t attract the best neighbors because families rarely live in them. These will be your potential occupants:
1. Section 8 housing. The worst outcome
2. Will be a Airbnb rental so always different people. Some good, some bad. The next worst outcome
3. Young professionals who are single. Not a terrible outcome other than they may party late on weekends and not put much effort into upkeep
It’s not even a race issue. I’d rather live next door to a black doctor with a wife and kids than a triplex section 8 building full of white trash methheads

For most standard A-1 residential subdivisions, the subdivision restrictions along with the residential zoning would only allow the construction of a Detached Single Family home.
There are subdivisions with the zoning in place that do allow it, as in a TND, iSpud, or SPUD.

If they selling them instead of renting them, it prob would be ok.
Most people buying them are just gonna use them for rentals

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.
It’s literally like a cancer that spreads.

A neighborhood zoned for single family homes should stay that way.
People expect no businesses, no commercial vehicles, or livestock in these neighborhoods.
Problem is the city allows half way houses, businesses, commercial vehicles, and seen horses, pigs, or cows in residential areas.
This is what brings down areas.
Half way houses end up having more occupancy than a normal house while they operate out of normal homes. This spills over into limited parking where people park on the grass, block sidewalks, or park in the street.
A neighborhood zoned for duplexes or multi family homes usually has enough parking to facilitate the extra people living on the property.
Commercial vehicles which even EBRP has parking ordinances that prohibit them being parked in residential areas. Roads are not designed for the weight of these vehicle turning in and out of the driveways.
Livestock, a residential neighborhood usually does not have the land between homes to properly care for these animals.
If you live in EBRP they turn a blind eye to understanding what a singe family home means.

As always it depends on the neighborhood.

I agree.
When the duplexes by Belaire were built in the late 70’s early 80’s they were mostly older people or young families.
Today it’s a war zone.
They even squeezed a big church inbetween duplexes, where a duplex was.
North Sherwood the whole area a war zone. Look at duplexes on Marcia, Susan, and Gwen off Red Oaks Drive.
They did hold up better on Marcia toward Red Oaks. The Latinos are slowly kicking the thugs out.

In my suburban neighborhood the townhomes and side by sides are owned or rented by retirees, single people and first time homebuyers building up equity and rents are high enough and there's no section 8. We have an HOA though and when some idiot left some furniture on the curb a letter was sent. We get letters if someone doesn't replace their outdoor lightbulbs since they are automatic.
You can live in neighborhoods like that if they are rules and an HOA.

Funny how this holds true, no matter their skin color. It's almost like they're trying to blame others on their failures in life.

There’s a lot of fourplexes in downtown Birmingham, specifically in Highland Park and Forest Park. At some point, somebody converted large homes into them.

"mixed income" housing doesn't raise up the less fortunate as Progressives claim. It drives everyone else down to the lowest level. Fact.
That is the objective
Mix all the successful people with the garbage they worked hard to escape from
And suddenly everyone is dumb and poor
This is by design

I’m in a historic downtown area. I live by section 8 duplexes.
My Hispanic neighbors are dope and I love them. One was a weed dealer and one of the best neighbors I ever had.
Anything other than Hispanic have been a freaking nightmare to live by. And I mean white people as well.
Call me racist. IDGAF.

the contractors who build these hell holes are the absolute worst .... they construct these doomed to become Section 8 apartments and enjoy the money while living far away from what they created.

I always say I'm not racist at all but I'm definitely classist. That's a lifestyle choice you make- to be trashy or not.
