    Not explicitly, maybe, but implicitly, absolutely, and in multiple ways:

    • Supporting the system that creates one over the other
    • Having ‘bootstrap’ attitudes about the poor
    • Worrying about property value over utilization
    • Complaining about the homeless rather than the lack of action on housing
    • Voting against people who run on public housing

    In so, so many ways, people say they prefer the latter over the former. Usually just with the caveat that the homeless people also be invisible.

      Maybe we should institute a tax on underutilized land in metro areas.

          Fuck anyone that uses money to buy things and let them rot. That’s a purposefully broad statement.

      I wonder who is doing this voting? Oh, it’s people who live in the areas we can’t afford to live in. And capitalists add lobbying power to those voters selfish interests.
