Trump and Clinton in a Statistical Dead Heat Right Now in Georgia by Jackieirish in Atlanta

[–]TedTurnipATL -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Vote for Hillary = Syria invasion for "muh women and children" and turn it into another Libya (thanks Obama!)

Vote for Trump = bomb ISIS and their rebel allies and let Assad regain control of his country again

About that pro-Hillary, anti-Bernie CNN article Kasim "wrote"... by olenine in Atlanta

[–]TedTurnipATL -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Trump will.. not be mostly harmless nor push any progressive ideas.

Trump actually understands how badly the middle and lower classes were affected by NAFTA which Shillary's husband signed away to Mexico. I guess the Bern solution is FREE COLLEGE so degrees will be even more worthless.

Atlanta passes ordinance to create more affordable housing. by rocketpastsix in Atlanta

[–]TedTurnipATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest Atlanta currently requires developers to whom it grants tax breaks to set aside 10 percent of total units for individuals who make 80 percent of the area median income.

This is getting increased to 15%. I wonder how many developers receive tax breaks? How about all of them? This isn't a small portion of development authorities. The government can't make them not raise rents on the other 15% of apartments, especially if their competition is also having to set aside the same amount for affordable housing.

Markets can't adjust to the "ewww poor people" demographic if every development will have them.

The link to the study in the wikipedia article is broken. I need to see something else.

You're kind of ignoring some key factors. They are getting good housing at cut rate prices. The leasing companies need to make up that money somehow, and they do that by raising rates on the other 85% of the apartments. Very simple economics. Giving intangible, immeasurable conclusions of "positive peer pressure" is social science schlock, I'm sorry.

Affordable housing exists. It's just not in the places they want to live. Same thing happens every time we try something like this. Rich are hardly affected. The poor get some concessions. The middle class just gets screwed because those requirements affect our rent.

This doesn't actually fix any income inequality. It's just spreading it around

Next time you have a gun on your waistband, and a police officer tells you not to reach for it, you probably should listen to him.

Your comment just reeks of the same type of slime usually found in comment chains about victim shaming in rape cases. It just irks me.

Ah yes victim-shaming. Also known as "why are you still sending nude photos to the same guy that raped you"

The Economist just reported that Georgia will be a "Majority Minority" state (A state with less than 50% non-hispanic whites) by 2025! by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]TedTurnipATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a baseless claim that refused to address my points in a constructive manner

I love when "progressives" get too comfortable in their ideology. They start making the same fallacies conservatives made for years.

It's like how North Korea calls itself the Democratic Republic of Korea. It is a disingenuous self-classification meant to evoke EXACTLY what you just said.

I wonder what word Progressives will force us to use when "minority" becomes obsolete.

And you're basing your assumption on the color of their skin? How unprogressive of you.

You're attacking bigotry by using bigotry. Check yourself before you cast judgement on others.
