What are "productive members of the community"? People who seek profit, hide their wealth, and flip houses to make more money?


Oh be serious...is this the new reasoning, homeowners are mustache-twirling villains?


Yes? I mean, as a perma-renter who's continually demonized for being a renter and suggesting the construction of more housing so I can afford to live somewhere in commuting distance from work, most of the people yacking in city meetings about how I "ruin the community" are, well, homeowners. And usually really nativist ones with a nasty undercurrent of racism, which doesn't even make any sense since I'm usually the same race as them.


... I think they meant people who work, who make more income than retired people.
