Those with wealth, power and position attempting to solidify their own segregated community....

by secretly and legally shutting down limited housing options needed for people's very survival, but only for those with already fewer options and those who are struggling financially.

Good she saw it and addressed it. Don't pass that bs.

Discrimination is still here in 2023. SMH

It probably has nothing to do with what you think it is. This is all about parking and crowds. They recently made parking permit only. The people living there are very mad when people park on the street.

Also Jim Thorpe is a rich persons tourist trap. You aren't going to find any affordable houses there to begin with. People struggling are better off going somewhere else as some of the residents are fing rude.

The last time I was in JT, probably well over 10 years ago, we lucked into a parking spot right on Broadway. Got out of the car, and first thing I see is a large sign in the front window of the house we parked in front of: TOURISTS GO HOME! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!

And that wasn't the only one I saw.

I did end up buying a small painting at one of the folk art shops, but outside of that we didn't spend any money in town, since they clearly didn't want any revenue from "outsiders". And we've never gone back, as they made us (and our money) feel so unwelcome.

Fuck 'em.
