Genuinely feel so much anger on her behalf for this. I don’t know if you people have seen property values in California but this buys you a 2 bedroom around here. 3 if you are LUCKY. Compound my ass.
I acknowledge the incredible wealth gap that makes home ownership not attainable for most people of color right now. And this is some divide and conquer shit. I absolutely believe that a person who has helped launch a global movement for Black life should be able to have a house.
And the truth of the matter is, only 1 bedroom homes or studio condos cost less in California right now.
The problem isn’t that she bought a house, the problem is that home ownership takes having been a senior executive at a successful non-profit for a decade.
She lives inside the major city she grew up in! Home ownership prices in that area have exploded. Other than buying a studio condo, the only other choice would be moving to the Inland Empire moving her away from the people she’s working for/with. I hate it here.
“Sorry, only gentrifiers making cash out of corporations are morally allowed to own homes in big cities.”
She has given her life, compromised her safety, and advanced justice. And realistically she’s a non-profit executive and a successful author with a NY Times bestseller. Get a fucking grip.
I want someone to publish the total property holdings of Joel Osteen. Just someone tell me how many personal property assets that man has.
