My pov is that Dave is sensitive regarding the controversy because he lost a friend who stood up for him.

This is common practice for wealthy ppl. If anything Dave was caught slacking by not buying up the land much earlier.

Yeah, and all those people are scumbags too
There is a national housing crisis, and to buy up land to make the situation worse just because he can't handle his town changing and accommodating the entry of more residents is scumbag behavior
Dave needs to ******* get over it.

When its towards some random developers only promising one acre of affordable housing he can be a scumbag towards them.
@ get over it. He has the money and power so he can specifically not do that.

-In practice, Dave is in favor of less affordable housing that the developers. If a developer says they will build a few units of affordable housing, and someone that claims they support affordable housing says that not enough and wants to kill the project, guess what that means? No affordable housing is getting built. This is a notorious NIMBY bad faith move. They claim they support affordable housing but their actions are in reality making less affordable housing being built. So Dave can whine about developers all he wants, he is being a bigger hindrance to affordable housing than the developers
Secondly, when there is a supply constraint, it bids up the cost of housing for everyone. Even if it is housing meant for upper-middle-class people. Because if upper-middle-class people don't find housing they like, they will not go homeless, they will outbid middle-class people for homes, then middle-class people then outbid lower-middle-class people for other homes. Blocking new construction, even of upper-middle and middle-class housing raises the market price for everyone and makes sure there is less affordable housing
It is a basic supply and demand issue. Dave blocking new construction it helping make sure there is less, not more, affordable housing
What is your argument anyway? Because Dave is rich he is above criticism?
Yes he has the money to do this, yes he has the influence, but my criticism is that he should not. And him doing it is scumbag behavior.
Him being rich and powerful doesn't seem like a solid counterargument for defending his behavior. Rich people do all sorts of ****** things
Secondly, Dave's whole attitude towards his critics is basically "get over it". Dave's critics have the power to criticize his ***, and Dave still takes issue. Dave told women that had the experience of watching his boy Louis CK jerk off in front of them to get over it.
So yeah, I don't see how my critique of his behavior is out of bounds when this thread is about a sensitive middle-aged dude that wants to say what he wants and for people to get over it. Dave is free to have his opinion on what people should get over, and so do I.
So on the housing issue, Dave needs to get over it. He will do what he wants, sure, but it is fair game for someone to call out how much of a scumbag move it is.

Given what Dave is already doing and wants to do with the land I wouldn't pretend to know what he is going to do in the future as if its a fact especially as far as affordable housing goes.
Unless I missed the part where Dave said **** affordable housing in my neighborhood and just wants to build things to make more money.
Being a scumbag in this situation is irrelevant.
This isn't an issue Dave has to get over imo. Its specifically about where he lives and he has the power to stop it and he's actually doing it.
There isn't a defense. This is just how it is.
Behavior you dislike isn't a crime or immoral. Its just another part of life since ppl think differently and move differently than you.
Honestly, they should.
Of all the #MeToo accusations and revelations that one always struck me as the most abusrd. You weren't held hostage by a crazed masturbating man. Get out the room and immediately expose him. Kick thenfool in the nuts or something. When I heard about CK doing this is thought it was a bit. Only until I heard Weinstein does the same did I realize it was a thing.
Its not assault or rape. Its perverted harassment that should be easy to deal with. Especially when the fool ejaculates in to a potted plant.
Dave's homeless man jerking off on the bus story was far more traumatizing
And even then thats handled far more easily than the serious situations in the MeToo movement.Probably should've just stopped with asking me exactly what my argument and/or stance is before adding in all this extra **** and wasting these words assuming I'm accusing you of anything else. Nothing about my posts says or implies don't have an opinion about Dave's opinions or actions.
What I said was pretty simple and straightforward and didn't have any coded message behind it.

Yeah from my understanding, there wasnt going to actually be any affordable housing that was going to be built. They were just "saving" 2 acres of land that could be used to do so in the future. Vast majority of it wasn't affordable at all.
The developers have their own plans and beause Dave has significant influence within his community and the finances to disrupt the developers, they are pissed and spinning it to the media like he's some tyrant. Whenever black people stand up for themselves people get up in arms.

If Dave's builds housing on his land, I will change my opinion, until then he looks like a scumbag for his moves.
This point is right he is irrelevant.
No one denied he had the power to do it. I am making a critique of his actions and saying it is the wrong decision.

So most of your post is dedicated to complaining about women in an indirect way to defend Dave.
Um, ok
My one sentence was just driving home the point that Dave tells people to "get over it" all the time, so someone can't act like returning the energy to Dave is out of bounds
But maybe some other poster will appreciate this
Dude you quote me
Secondly, I asked you a question. If I am wrong then tell me what exactly your point is because I don't see anything beyond insisting Dave is above criticism because he is rich
Maybe next time I will just post a laughing emoji when you quote me and not waste my time taking your post seriously

Yet y'all find something else to post about him and complain about
So many non- stories about Dave recently that really have nothing to do with his specials.
According to you right?
You brought up that ridiculous example about Louis CK and Dave telling those women to get over it just to say Dave should get over something he has the power to stop.
I just don't see the common sense in that.
My post was driving home the point nothing about what Dave's doing really makes him a scumbag.Um, ok

And I answered it but your post definitely went on to assume a lot of things. You're doing it again in this post
You seem to be purposely ignoring it and coming to your own conclusions.
Won't change anything one way or the other.
My posts don't rely on if other ppl will reply to me even if I quote them.
How you reply is entirely up to you.
Just don't see why this is so wrong.

It really seems that people are just taking Dave's side and then working backward from there. Like Dave's actions and comments are just basic NIMBY nonsense, that is why I don't like them. Not because it is Dave doing it.
Me and
osh kosh bosh
have gone back and forth on the issue regarding Dave. It is clear we don't agree on certain issues regarding him. Everyone in here as clearly taken notice
But he is someone, like me, that has read a lot about housing economics and I am willing to bet that he would agree that me calling a rich person that tries to buy up land to stop new housing development scumbag behavior is a reasonable take.
This has nothing to do with liking Dave or tearing down a black man. Rich NIMBY's have ruined the US housing market with such behavior. Protecting the supply constraint in the housing market is all bad, it hurts the exact people Dave claims to care bout. I am wishing Dave would not do the same.
But it seems now that issues surrounding Dave are so polarizing that his fans view any criticism toward dude as bad faith.

No it definitely didnt.The point I was making went over your head. But its cool, I know that cape must be on tight
But anyway, here...
I just don't care about your complaining about you thinking osh is the only other person knowledgeable about housing economics and you think that he would agree with you about what Dave is doing. Also your continued assumption that this is more about taking sides with Dave or not instead of any given topic.
But sure tell yourself differently and post
Like I said before it won't change how I reply.
