A decent sized portion of my childhood and teenage years were spent homeless (as well as some of my early 20s). Moving from town to town, shelter to shelter, living in random hotels for a week at a time. The s*** isn't fun and it f***s with you mentally, physically, and emotionally, especially as a child.

Also, the longer you're homeless, the harder it is to get out of it. It affects every other aspect of your life, from employment to dietary health. It's hard to maintain a job when you don't have a secure and safe place to sleep at night. It's hard to eat healthy meals when you don't have a place to cook them.

These are only some of the reasons as to why affordable housing is so important.

I was just saying stupid s***. Anyhow, bro has done enough for his community. This is literally about his 56 million dollar investment. You can’t please everybody bro. What have the haters done for anyone?

Been known Dave chapelle solid as a rock @WRU

I swear Yellow Springs liberals larp as leftists all the time, but when it really comes down it, they’re just like ‘Sure, but not in my backyard’ Liberals anywhere else in this country. Sad.

interesting, almost as if you can’t get the full picture from a 20 second video from a random twitter account

Anybody acting like they’d agree to have their property massively devalued has never worked hard enough to afford one in the first place

See here's why housing it's a good thing that these houses are now gonna be 100k more expensive

“ This is completely inaccurate. The objection is they are building it directly in his backyard, taking pictures of his home & using it as a selling point.
The PUD presented by Oberer planned for houses starting at $300k and up. Not affordable”

LMAOOOO

lock it up

Except they're still gonna build those houses right there and the only difference is it's gonna be more expensive

Bro it's the WINTER olympics why you mfs doing all these mental gymnastics?

Mfs really don’t understand the strain that not having stable housing does to a mf.

When we reject housing for other human beings, we only create more problems for everyone. We can’t expect people to hold jobs, fight d*** addictions, and improve their mental health when they don’t have homes. Those problems only get worse due to homelessness and end up creating more problems that end up costing us more money.

Plus free housing and subsidized housing only makes it harder for landlords to commodify a human right and would drop rent prices for literally everyone. There’s a net benefit in giving everybody housing, but rich people hate seeing poor people win.

Funny you talk all day about what black people should do when you should use your home as investment. If not then you’re better off getting an apartment and not even buying a home what the f*** are you talking about?

Ngl you gettin aggressive with me when all I did was post some tweets from what people that are from the area are saying.

@ShintaroKago said himself that he looked into Oberer and the conference himself and noticed sus activity with their history.

You said you didn’t and that you didn’t need to.

That’s fine, seems like your minds made up.

But no need to @ me with this passive aggressive s*** when I’m not even taking part in the debate lol

Yes you are absolutely better buying a home even if you're not using it as an investment dumbass, mortgage is a lot less expensive than rent and you actually own it eventually unlike renting where you only spend money and don't own anything

The reasons i wouldn't wanna use it as an investment and rent it out is bc i think it's very immoral to do so when there's a severe housing crisis going on where i'm at and don't believe housing should be for profit in the first place

It's not directed against you more so the people using that series of tweets to justify this

Oh I feel you, never mind then lol

You literally don’t know what you’re talking about lol I see the issue. A mortgage is absolutely not cheaper than rent are you f***ing serious? And you know there’s other factors that go into getting a house besides the mortgage right?

Cool that’s your opinion dumbass. Don’t tell others what to do cause you don’t wanna do it lol

White people invest in their homes why can’t black people?

Imagine not being able to understand how arguments work

Bro even if we f***ing burned down his house he would still have 65 million USD left over

Lmao if you think mortgages aren't cheaper than rent you're dumber than I thought you were

And yeah bro absolutely, me saying that housing shouldn't be for profit = me saying only white people should be allowed to invest in housing

Blizzard temperature iq ass nigga shut ur dumbass up

"Affordable housing units" at this point are more about making sure the builder maximizes profit then providing any kind of positive living situation for low income individuals. Such a misnomer calling them that

YANG LMAO

Yea ngl the Yang s*** made me cringe a bit

You can educate yourself.

Generational wealth comes from where? Owning and investing no? How do you expect that to happen? Out of thin air?

You are literally a f***ing idiot has no clue what you’re talking about. Instead of talking about whatever fantasy you want try talking about reality for once.

I dont get it whos the bad guy

The article literally explains how monthly costs can be higher by about 60 USD bc of taxes etc, not that mortgage itself is cheaper than rent dumbass

And like I said the fact that it builds wealth more than makes up for that anyway

I already explained why I'm against using houses as an investment, if you wanna do that, fine. But even if you do use it as an investment it doesn't mean you gotta f*** over everybody else because it makes your investment less profitable
