ORIGINAL: Wayward5oul Say what you want about his sources. At least he provided some. Primary and relevant sources from the government, whether you agree with them or not. And I had a genuine interest in what you might have provided to the discussion, so that I could compare it to what I am hearing locally about our projects and explore the differences. But since you seem more interested in handing out snark to everyone rather than actually discussing the topic, I don't really care else you have to say about it now. Notice Nancy keeps insisting it's propaganda, insisting I'm wrong, and has STILL produced nothing to back up anything he has said. The closest he came was a link to the HUD website... but absolutely no relevant content was included in the link, and that's where I got the support for my own claim. Now he is telling me to 'keep looking', because he hopes I will find something that backs him up... because he is too lazy to do it himself and isn't even sure if such evidence exists. But apparently he has 'seen it himself'... which is good enough to prove his point to everyone here, even though I lived in Denmark for over a year and saw it succeeding there, but that isn't good enough for him. This wasn't even the focus of the discussion I was having with tamaka, which was about racism. I brought up mixed housing as ONE of several actions that could help to eliminate racism, and the troll latched onto it, screaming 'socialism' and insisting it was wrong because it's socialism and socialism is bad. I think it's pretty obvious that there are right ways and wrong ways to do mixed housing projects, right ways and wrong ways to do 'socialism', etc. What is really ironic is that he will say mixed housing and 'socialism' is a failure, but of course 'capitalism' and 'gated communities' are a resounding success... concentrating a single socioeconomic class in one area will eliminate poverty forever. Or maybe we should just tolerate it because it's 'capitalism' and 'capitalism' is good therefore stop trying to solve these problems. One of his original posts actually stated that gated communities were a reaction to mixed housing, as in, they were all apparently such spectacular failures that people were sealing themselves off from the outside world to get away from the horrors they have produced. He seriously argued that mixed communities drove out middle and upper class people and turned entire neighborhoods into ghettoes. Say what you will about how well mixed communities function... the idea that they actually have the effect of turning middle class neighborhoods into worthless SLUMS is NOT supported by any evidence... and yet he insists it's an epidemic. He hasn't even provided evidence that mixed communities fail in ANY WAY, let alone that they actually destroy property value, bring in crime/drugs/whatever. It's just so absurd that he has kept going like this, mocking everything I say, simply because he believes for no reason that these communities are failing. I mean, most trolls might have at least attempted to find an article, ANY article-- be it Alex Jones, KKKtoday, the Onion, whatever... just to make it seem like they were actually trying. But nope, not Nancy-boy... he just keeps pulling things out of his ass and insisting they're true. Unbelievable. It's simply amazing to me the lengths you'll go to in order to maintain your delusions.
