“I see nothing wrong with literally overtly racist zoning laws that have been used for decades to keep towns like mine whiter.” Honestly if you know nothing about the racist history of zoning laws perhaps you should, I don’t know, shut the fuck up?

I was raised in Dyker Heights and live in Queens. What "towns" are you talking about? And why do you people make everything about race?

Of course you were raised in dyker height. Is that shocking to anyone here? You’re insufferable.

Pretty much every formerly working class white town on the south shore of LI sweet pea is filled with assholes like you. And many parts of queens and Brooklyn, including dyker heights.

“Poverty persists in America because many of us benefit from it. We enjoy cheap goods and services and plump returns on our investments, even as they often require a kind of human sacrifice in the form of worker maltreatment. We defend lavish tax breaks that accrue to wealthy Americans, starving antipoverty initiatives. And we build and defend exclusive communities, shutting out the poor and forcing them to live in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage”
