What cities still value the working class?

Forums:

Are Chicago and St Louis the last ones?

Salinas

Watsonville

I love Watsonville! ( and artichokes)

 

 

 Any that pay a living wage?

Parkersburg

So, none of the so-called liberal cities? 

 

^^^ Where are those?

2.1% unemployment in midland-odessa, texas.

Or do you only want cheap housing if it is next to the ocean?

What do you consider next to the ocean? Inside 25 miles?

My company underwrote a $20m bond offering for Salinas, CA last year . The funds are being used to build the El Gabilon library. Pretty cool project- that community really needed this.

City of Salinas, El Gabilan Library 2018

Salinas Public Facilities Inc

The new El Gabilan Library is designed with a community focus that features an outdoor children's zone, a teen area, a homework help area and an outdoor patio and amphitheater.

Otherwise, i think Springfield, USA is still working class.

 

Grease the wheel and everybody's happy?

Cities are not able to value anything.  Humans do that.

>>>>Or do you only want cheap housing if it is next to the ocean?

Lots of blue collar, working class towns on the ocean in the PNW.   Try Aberdeen, Washington or Coos Bay, Oregon for example.

Does Vegas have enough apartments for it's employees or do they live in Winnebagos an hour from the strips?

Springfield, USA, fer sure

i was wrong about cheap housing in midland odessa, seemed quite expensive on zillow, oil boom i guess.

What does this mean?    >>> What cities still value the working class? <<<

Do you mean is there a supportive infrastructure for working people? Or, is there housing for people with jobs? Or ... what do you mean?

Housing available to people working in the city. 

 

I just scored a used Modwright Oppo udp-205 from a guy in Watsonville.

Aspen is working on available housing:   https://www.apcha.org/169/Available-Units

Vail is working on affordable housing:  https://www.vailgov.com/vail-local-housing-authority

Park City also:  https://www.parkcity.org/how-do-i/affordable-housing#ad-image-0

Tahoe too:  http://www.ttcf.net/impact/regional-housing-study/

 

In most cases, it means that the local community builds some apartments and then either rents them cheap or sells them cheap with restrictions on profiting from future resales.

Doesn't really work, because the booming economy in these places draws workers way faster than they can build subsidized housing.

A few people win, but for most workers it means nothing.

Would labor camps be better than apartments for grocery store employees, housekeeping employees or any other service workers in the city? 

Back when things were great, workers were called "serfs" and they were allowed to live in hovels close to employment.

Detroit, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland still have cheap housing in the inner-city.

Out In the PNW, Boise, Spokane and Olympia are popular destinations for people seeking more affordable housing, and a lower cost-of-living.

 

Slack, what you seek is out there, but you'll have to leave the bay area. 

Who has to leave the Bay Area? The working class? 

Folks looking for affordable housing. 

 

Stop being such a nudnik.

Tomorrows raids should help. 

^And there will be many working class white folks cheering it on

Slack, you should apply for a job at SFMTA. With overtime those workers earn some decent coin.

Minneapolis, Tackling Housing Crisis and Inequity, Votes to End Single-Family Zoning

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/13/us/minneapolis-single-family-zoning.html

 

 

In U.S. first, Minneapolis rethinks housing density to make homes cheaper

 

In December 2018, it passed a citywide ban on single-family zoning, meaning developers are now allowed to build multi-unit housing in neighborhoods that were previously reserved for houses accommodating just one family each.

    The hope is that increasing housing density will boost vacancy rates and drive down costs.
