What I’m saying is there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Minority families can be good people and want the best for their children just like everyone else.
It doesn’t They are still wards of the state and will remain so as long as they do not have to do anything to better themselves and their station in life. Equal opportunities, not equal outcomes.I don’t understand. How does moving poor people into wealthy neighborhoods help them get out of poverty?
Which is a stereotype.They are still wards of the state and will remain so as long as they do not have to do anything to better themselves and their station in life.
I just explained it hasn’t made a dent on my old neighborhood. If anything it’s improved the maintenance of rental properties. I still own a non-rental house there and pay property tax ; in the last 5 years several schools have been refurbished and look great.Say goodbye to your peaceful lifestyle and safe schools.
Well good, if that is what you want to put up with. I don’t, and I am not any less a follower of Christ than you are by not wanting to live in such a situation. My main focus is the safety of my family and a decent place to live. People should not be forced by the government to accept things and situations that they do not want to accept.I don’t live in an “inner city” - but there are people on government assistance in my building. We are a mixed income community. I make 6 figures. It doesn’t bother me. There have been attempted break ins to our underground parkade - we just evaluate and upgrade the security measures each time.
That’s the nature of government, dude. Are you advocating full on anarchism?People should not be forced by the government to accept things and situations that they do not want to accept.
It’s mainly the access to better schools and environments low in crime and general socialization. They’ll get to grow up with kids their age who have nice and bright outlooks on life, and go to a well-funded school where the teachers are generally more patient and paid. Good school and living environment is a massive boost to their ability to live well and escape poverty.How does moving poor people into wealthy neighborhoods help them get out of poverty?
No, I’ve seen the difference between people who do not want to work and those who do. People need to give up the government stipend and do for themselves. I have met many minorities who have used the same opportunities afforded to me - first in military service and then in my profession as a professional truck driver. People who have refused to sit on their butts waiting for a Federal check, but have instead gone out and made the most of what living in this nation has to offer and made successes of themselves. i guarantee you, these folks do not want to live in a neighborhood inhabited by people on the government dole.Which is a stereotype.
First, the Obama policy at issue regarding affirmatively furthering fair housing centered on data collection and reporting on barriers to fair housing. Fair housing is associated with discriminatory practices and barriers to housing. Trump discontinued this policy for HUD funding recipients. It doesn’t have anything to do with vouchers. (Although affordable housing may indeed be a barrier to fair housing).I read that he’s going to allow more renter vouchers and stop redlining.
First, no.Is what I’ve read an indication that in the middle class or wealthier suburbs across America there’s going to be renters with vouchers and no community is exempt from these laws?
It’s one way that low income people receive housing assistance.What is a voucher?
Libertarianism, anarchism. Call it what you like. Such positions are not reconciliable with Catholic teaching.I am an advocate of full on liberty, where each of us chooses where to live and who we want to live around. The government forcing things down our throats is anarchism, government anarchism. Again, would a Joe Biden, or a Bill Mahar, or any of these Upper West Side liberals or an AOC want these people in their neighborhood? Not on your life.
What? That makes no sense.But in the meantime they’ll get even poorer by trying to keep up with the rich neighbors.
Catholic teaching is not based on force, nor where people decide to live and who with. If a homeless man in the dead of winter needs a coat I am obliged to give him one, mine if need be - that is Catholic teaching. If a person is hungry and asks me for food I am obliged to feed him or her - that is Catholic teaching. No where in Catholic teaching is there a requirement for me to live amongst people whom I do not want to live with - it simply is not there.Libertarianism, anarchism. Call it what you like. Such positions are not reconciliable with Catholic teaching.
