Why so? High income earners bring jobs and opportunities. Don’t fall for the divisive garbage rhetoric that you have to hate other American because they have more money than you. Those high earners pay taxes. They help fund the schools. What mare should they do??? No one making 150k/ yr is a trust fund baby. Husband and wife making 75 grand each is more like it.

People are getting displaced; have the city build more public housing. Why can’t the city do that instead of continuously pitting neighbors against each other?

Illegals are welcome here but young families making 100k / year are not? What an upside down world we are living in🤡

Yeah, 150K is the classic "a plumber married to a nurse" scenario people talk about when they discuss middle income housing...

This is a problem created by neo liberal politics: don’t offer people solutions instead tell them who to blame for their problems. 1 . People are homeless: let them take over the public parks and sidewalks. Don’t finds ways to house them.. refuse to support high density housing. Blame landlords and pile on regulation on them making housing more expensive. Point the finger on “gentrifiers”. Republicans what you to hate foreigners; democrats want you to hate your neighbors.

  1. People are hopeless and turn to drugs: don’t offer them hope or any solutions. Let them shoot up on the open. Decriminalize “petty” crimes coz its “unfair” to enforce the law on the drug dependent. Don’t pass min wage laws, create affordable healthcare insurance or affordable starter housing. Democrats want you to blame the rich ; republicans want you to blame the poor.

  2. Inner city public education is failing: democrats are in denial. Republicans want grandma to teach kids advanced math.

Take any issue out there and there isn’t a solution in sight. God help this county!
