Black mansions matter

It's true that there does seem to be a housing crisis in certain parts of the country. Even getting an apartment where I live is a nightmare, as nothing seems to be available. Rent has gone up, but I think even worse than this is the lack of options so don't even have a choice - you have to take whatever you find.

I found an absolutely beautiful apartment that had vacant units and was cheap. It was a brand new building too. I thought it was too good to be true. I contacted the apartment for a tour, and they said I couldn't live there, because this beautiful luxurious apartment was "low income housing", so only poor people are allowed to live there. What a joke.

I think there is a push to build more and more of these "low income housings". I think Democrats want poor people to be reliant on the system, so that they become loyal to the system. This is how they get their policy power. This exposes one of the flaws of democracy.
