Comments for Sticker #067: Something Smells Like Gentrification
I like the comment about the NAtives and white people...I think the evil Wasichu should go back to Europe IshI think that there's a sociological study that found that only 15% of people one welfare are abusing it. Isn't that interesting since so many people claim that drug addicts and mexicans are "stealing" our welfare? The media and ignorant motherfuckers are extremely talented at perpetuating such "facts". Hellin Killermost people on welfare are single moms. drug users don't have to rely on the state, moron. ever heard of theft, robbery, omg maybe selling drugs? you morons who whine about welfare don't understand welfare. you listen to too much FOX news. FOXy observerThis is sadly being done to the downtown Las Vegas arts district.. :[ AphreeMike-in the town in Indiana I live in, I see so many people who are on welfare, who CHOOSE not to work. Instead, they CHOOSE to drink and use drugs (meth is a HUGE problem here). Heck, if they can get by on welfare and not work, then why work if it wouldn't help them out hardly any? At least that's the logic they follow. I don't think he was assuming, he seems to know people personally, and know that this is what happened. JoshI don't see how you could assume; parents with several children aren't hardworking; JUST because they're on welfare. And how making money off selling other peoples' artwork in a house you inherited is considered hardworking; is beyond me. I don't know about "East Nashville"; but here in Memphis; there is an undersupply of low income jobs. Not everyone has the capability or the money to go to college so they can be "entrepreneurs", you know. And so people are stuck without employment. It's either depend upon the welfare system or live on the street. It doesn't help matters when rich suburban "entrepreneurs" move in to gentrify (in many cases "whitewash") the area. MikeWow, here in East Nashville all of the alcoholic drunk ass people who lived with their parents till they died have all sold their parents houses they inherited for a mint and young hard working entrepreneurs have bought them, tricked them out,and YES, built art galleries where I can sell my art work. Used to my neighbors would come over and drink beer on the porch after yelling at their stupid welfare , non working family members,IE, drug dealers, pan handelers....ETC.... Now they drive up in nice cars ask me how I am and go in and play and read to their children....You want to do something more constuctive than complaining...Clean up your credit, grow your own food , save your money, start your own tree business, or landscaping company...get rich...give money to dying children charities....buy your own house before the market in an area explodes...HOPE THE DRUNK WELFARE NEIGHBORS ARE REPLACED BY HARD WORKING PEOPLE THAT HELP RAISE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE ...SELL YOUR HOUSE....MAKE A TON OF MONEY....MOVE TO THE COUNTRY AND RIDE YOUR BICYCLE AROUND YOUR FARM AND EAT ONLY VEGTABLES AND DIE OF OSTEOPOROSIS WHEN YOUR THIRTY. runonsentenceprickthere goes the neighborhood. mesotheliomaAround where I live in the UK every cool old place is getting torn down and getting a GAP store or a housing estate of rabbit hutches around.. it drives me crazy! Some of the coolest places to ride are gone, old cool independant shops are 2 up 2 down condos, historically cool places are gone, there are no open space. Hell they're even building an estate on a chemical dump (that's right in the middle of the outskirts of our town.. (oxymoron i know) WHY?). Say it loud and proud: enough is enough! jakeOne individual cannot cause gentrification so live where you want. The real estate agents are to blame. Eric
