Tell me how the guy who worked in a factory (And I dont mean Budds or Schnieders) back in the day benefitted from an exclusionary system yet managed to buy modest homes? It was because you weren't taxed to death and your buying power of the dollar was better. Stop with the social injustice bs.
A major reason why new suburban housing was affordable was because it was subsidized by the future. We are all paying for it now with wild infrastructure costs eating up the budget. Imagine getting the rug pulled out on you multiple times from multiple angles at this point.
I look forward to the super loud moaning coming from that neighbourhood when their backyards finally start getting expropriated for ION phase 2.
