minus-squareKichae@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up107arrow-down16·1 year agoNot explicitly, maybe, but implicitly, absolutely, and in multiple ways: Supporting the system that creates one over the other Having ‘bootstrap’ attitudes about the poor Worrying about property value over utilization Complaining about the homeless rather than the lack of action on housing Voting against people who run on public housing In so, so many ways, people say they prefer the latter over the former.
