I'm not carrying water for anyone, I don't want more corporate-owned, boutique apartment villages in this town, and I especially don't want them putting a nice park in their buildings' shade when it's nice trees right now.

I don't care that a wealthy development company wants to provide a bunch of rich kids with a scenic background for their apartment balconies at the expense of the park and the people in town who use it.

Who do you think will develop the affordable housing we need so much? It's not going to be private individuals funding apartment complex builds, its going to be a corporation or two.

DUDE, you already admitted that the affordable housing argument is bullshit:

>This one I agree with you on, more expensive apartments won't fix the affordable housing problem, but that isn't really the area to focus on affordable housing, imo.

Why do you go so hard on lying???

I'm not talking about this development with that question. I'm asking who you think is going to develop affordable housing in Springfield, in general? Do you think affordable housing will be funded primarily by private individuals? Or do you think apartment complexes, hopefully with some form of rent control, will be developed by corporate interests?

It sounds like you don't have an argument for your position and now you're just doing a gish-gallop to keep from having to defend any of the bullshit you say. Hell, you admitted as much already:

>I don't even have skin in the game. I couldn't care less what happens down there. The hypocrisy is real, is all.

yeah, the hypocrisy is definitely real.

No, it sounds like the "no more corporate housing" is a convienent excuse for you to hide behind.

Who is going to develop affordable housing complexes? Continue dodging the question if you want.

Edit: blocked? Lol.
