If you can afford a beach house, you're not poor, simple as that. The poor should be able to go on vacation but they can't because of destructive anti housing policies.

You know how I know you're not really poor? Because it's apartments that get you mad, as if the only valid way to live is in a single family house. That's been the American upper class modus operandi for decades and it's why public housing stopped being built. There's million dollar Bayonne Boxes going up all over the Heights, where's the outrage about that? How does that help poor people? That's what happens when you don't allow enough apartments to serve as yuppie fishtanks.

who said I’m not outraged about that? And I never said only apartments made me mad, you’re assuming. I’m discussing a specific apartment complex that was built on university property not to help the students the university served, that’s it lmaooo

Note also that these days 100% subsidized housing projects are built by nonprofit community partners to look exactly the same as market rate buildings do. Is that also a cardboard apartment?

You've said all over this thread that you hate "cardboard apartments" generalizing every single new apartment as being of poor build quality, and now you don't hate them?
