How is it NIMBYism when I literally support migrant housing in Buffalo?

It’s really astonishing how you stick to this “”””argument”””””

Oh for Pete’s sake. You want me to name every single city improvement? You’d probably move the goalposts then, too. Name one inner city the GOP has improved and through what policy. Some of us take pride in our jobs.

I am married! We wouldn’t be looking at a new build, more like a first-ring suburb or a more urbanized village.

Im telling you people, endless suburban sprawl is not sustainable!!

Our policies are designed for incremental steady improvement, as with the link about Detroit I already posted. Your policies dont even try to address the problems. The Black Caucus overwhelmingly supported Clinton’s 1993 crime bill. Don’t see how the GOP will fix incarceration problems as their platform is literally “more prisons more prisoners we will be draconian on crime”

Spot on. I especially hate the default tip screen on the Toast registers that make you add an extra 20% when all they did was turn around and pour a coffee in a cup.

We try and we succeed. Republicans do not. So it goes.

See that’s interesting, I did not once mention race. I said “boy” on the east side of Buffalo. As in, poverty transcends race. And, as in, republicans have no clue how to deal with it.

Almost like changing generational poverty will take more than a few years If that’s what you get from what I said, you’re not worth the effort

Detroit has significantly improved and is a model of urban resurgence https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/struggling-cities-should-look-to-detroit-for-lessons-on-revival/

Better than the rope the GOP wants to give out

Investment into the community that has been left out of it. Please explain how a 10-year old boy on the east side of Buffalo, neither of whose parents finished high school, living in a crumbling 1880s worker cottage off Doat Street, will have the same shot at success as a 10 year old boy living in Williamsville.

I bet we have at least a couple members of this forum happily signing up

Increased access to education? Free meal programs at schools for kids? Investments in infrastructure in marginalized communities? Programs for lead paint and asbestos removal? Interest-free loan programs for home improvement projects? Targeted investment into low income housing via adaptive reuse projects?

That’s not what the racists are saying lmfao

Pass. Income is income and should be taxed. Really, tipping should just go away in general and workers be paid a fair wage off the bat.

Go to the East Side of Buffalo and tell them to their face that they should just pull themselves out of it. Please, I dare you. I don’t know what it will take to get through (what can laughingly be called) your brain that rugged individualism doesn’t work when the economic institutions others enjoy aren’t available to you. It’s madness.

It’s an episcopal church. They’re the most progressive Christian sect, so this is not surprising. Also not surprising is that James Lindsey doesn’t know this, but he hasn’t stepped foot in a church in his life so.

Land doesn’t vote

I want open borders inasmuch as I want it to be as easy as possible to move from nation to nation, both with immigration and travel for education and employment. We have the technology to move anywhere we want on Earth in a matter of hours. It should be a simple process to study in Japan, or to live for a few months in France, and so forth. I think most cultures are compatible with each other, once the proper economic institutions are set up. Our cities were hodge podges of different identities that still maintained their distinct cultural values while occupying the same space. Bro what? Modi has the most difficult coalition he's ever faced! The right wing in India lost substantial ground! I'm so glad your ideology is dying off. "Third worlders." Give me a break.

The kneeling thing was a silly political stunt. Now, I would like the other posters here to explain why they believe white people are being replaced and what the end goal of this is.

Burden of proof is on you, big boy. I don’t believe in that conspiracy. Thanks for coming right out and saying what I thought you would. Helps to know what I’m dealing with here.

They’re the silent majority! We promise you guys!
