I don’t want affordable housing near where I live

Politicians constantly yammer on about wanting more ‘affordable housing’.
I want less affordable housing in my area, and if they were being honest, so do the politicians.

They built one on the property behind my moms house.
If you like rap music on a week night at midnight and dodge charger sounds then it is wonderful.
The trash spread on the streets in just a bonus.

A lot of politicians live in gated communities.

Absolutely. That shite completely ruined my hometown.

I want housing to be more affordable. I don’t want “affordable housing”. That’s just a government housing project by another name.

Low trust population made your town a low trust town?

I'm fine with affordable housing but absolutely detest the Obama-era policies that require a certain % of development be alloted towards low-income housing. It doesn't help low income folks, it just ruins the nicer neighborhoods. Everyone is equally shitty

Well of course it isn't going to go in their neighborhoods, and despite voting for it they will sue you if you try.

My favorite story about affordable housing is a gun range near me.
The guy has 200, and 100 yard rifle ranges. Years ago a lady bought some land behind his gun range. He said to her ma’am, this is gun range has been here for decades. Are you sure you want to put your house right behind my gun range?
She said is now hers she can do whatever.
Shortly after she built the house, she started calling the police saying that she found shell casings on her roof from the rifle range. The police would come out and say
“ma’am shell casings don’t fly 400 yards from the ejection port of a gun to your roof.”
She kept calling.
So the owner of the gun range drove over the creek to her house and said
“ma’am if you call the police on my gun range one more time I will sell this entire land all around you to section 8 housing.”
She never called again.

Amen. Want to leave near me? Earn enough money to afford it. Don't earn enough? Live somewhere else.
I'm not even a fan of apartments being built... but if you are hell bent on it, then make them in the $2,500-$3,000 per month rent variety. Tends to attract the right kind of folks as opposed to the riff raff. Sorry if that's unpopular, but that's just the way it is.

They don't care about affordable housing. They care about control. Look at Los Angeles for a prime example following the palisade fires. The government wants to control everything, including housing. The more they control, the less say you have. Why own something when the Government can lease it to you, neverending? Why would they ever let you pass down an asset to your offspring when they can wipe it clean and pass it off to the next tenant. And then the real money comes in when the tax dollars start getting appropriated. More bodies in as small a square footage equals more tax dollars/head.
It's the same marxist push they are trying with energy. Politicians want to own utilities so THEY can decide how to distribute said power.

Isn’t it strange how that correlates? And the people at the top just wanted that easy government money instead of building the town up. The military families all went eight miles up the road and now that town is exploding with big nice neighborhoods

No affordable housing in my area. That is the good thing about HOA's, and a mature neighborhood. No affordable housing opportunities for miles and miles.

Town I grew near incorporated about 18 yrs ago and still doesn't have housing projects or rent controlled apts.
There are reportedly certain federal funds that if you take as a city you have to do certain things and this location has not taken those funds.

Yep it's just like the data centers, they'll gladly vote to approve one to be built next to your house but they would never do so for it to be built next to theirs

The federal govt is the main force that ushered in the housing crisis we have today. They should therefore be disqualified from trying to fix it.
Jeez. Their version of fixing it will be to rig the system to benefit certain groups with little regard for what harm their shenanigans will do to the system at large.
That's how we got here. The govt should piss off and stick to screwing up the responsibilities enumerated in the constitution.

It’s not just affordable housing.
It’s high density housing as well. All the crap they are building down Burbank in Baton Rouge will just add to the breeding grounds built 30 years ago.
Not to mention all the crap they are building around U-Club on Nicholson. It’s a little nicer, but way too crowded. The infrastructure and drainage isn’t going to handle it.

No affordable housing in my neighborhood. Almost everyone has a dog. Not a single pitbull.
