for this hypo, let's eliminate "racism" as an answer

If we're still talking about Detroit here, I don't think you can totally do that. The race riots in 1967 accelerated a lot of decline that occurred.

so better property values, more economic choice, better schools, and less crime can be spun as not being an improvement?

how?

Why? If I produce a product or provide a service that makes me $100M+ a year, why should I not have that money? What do you suggest happens with everything over $100M?

Her posts are so inconsistent the only logical conclusion is that he/she/it is a troll.

She praises men like Soros for donating millions upon millions to charity, the arts, universities, yet wants an economic system where such donations would be practically impossible.

And she lives off a trust fund and has never held an actual job that she has to live off of. Typical.

She does make an excellent Democrat.

Out of curiosity, what improvements in the lower income parts of new Orleans in the last 5 years weren't actually improvements?

I've posted my email and told her to email me, and she ignored me for the rest of the thread.

I'm not convinced.

apparently the solution is for white people to move back, do nothing to invest in their new community to ensure that property values stay low

Apparently white people have only two choices:

1. Pay money to black people directly, both for reparations and for current white privilege.

2. Die

You must keep lower income neighborhoods shitty and lower income. If you don't, you're a racist power hungry greedy Republican.

If you improve the neighborhoods and the education and the property values and the life of thos who live there for some reason you are a racist dipshit.

Also, you're not allowed to make more money than yoga girl would allow. All extra money goes to the poor lower income directly, but it cannot be used to improve neighborhoods, because, that would threaten their government assistance and way of life.

Am I right so far, yoga?

It's pretty easy to define what improvement is. You just have to ask does this increase the property values in the area. If the answer is yes, then boom that's improvement. Even low income people that have lived in the area for decades should be thrilled about their property values increasing.

Investing is racist because I guess the improvements by white people only effectuate the erasure of black culture. That's why I guess she wants white people to pay them directly, so that black people can improve their community how they see fit.

Sounds like it would work out.

No no. You can't improve the communities. If you do, it will force out those who "have more of a right to be there".
