Down with the paper machey subdivision communities where nobody talks to each other and where the place is lifeless. Arise inner cities communities with the cool 1930′s Eepression Era Bungalows with brick motoring that makes the place look way cooler than the paper machey suburbs.

I can’t deal with this stuff so I like to pretend that it’s really the other guy who can’t deal with it. My head is stuck in the 13th century.
Note to Self: Until I can understand why I have the lowest IQ in the white race race, I will produce unintended comic results.

Face it, IQ matters. Don’t I sound tough “able to face the harsh truth”?

Fuck all the whiners in here Yasha. These losers can’t hold a candle to your writings and so they screech and moan about how accurate you are. There is no more American place than Victorville and you have your finger on the pulse. Keep it coming!

Yasha, I would expect you to cite a movie, rather than display any personal/creative insight to your sad life, since you don’t know who you are, citing the creative work of others to validate yourself is par for your neurotic course.
You didn’t print the letter, because you’re ashamed of some of it being right. The charade must go on, or you cease to exist, right Yasha?
It must be quite and experience to be alone in the desert with no sense of who you are. Your audience is already starting to mock you, Yasha. Or that is, the facade you’re trying to maintain. That anxiety you feel right now is real, Yasha. Your deepest personal fears are trying to tell you something. Good luck with that.

“They are clearly not doing that well currently. Maybe a move to some fringe suburb could be a change for the better??”

Hahahahahaha.

Those Indian tribes were not doing too well against the white men either, but moving to the desert was not a change for the better.

Yeah, I agree with the other people – you and Mark are getting too acclimated to America. I mean, now it’s all glazed-eyes and taking stuff too seriously. Take teabaggers for example – if you were in Russia covering the bydlo in the DPNI/Movement Against Illegal Immigration, you wouldn’t really care what they think, because it’s the same old bullshit. Same thing here. And sometimes the gopnik and gastarbeiter underclasses is just the gopnik and gastarbeiter underclasses, just like we see here. It’s just this American leftist mentality that makes you care about them more than looking at the big picture. I mean that’s what was making it so entertaining and interesting to read before, it was like that Trading Places issue, but now it’s just a lefty blog full of purely American rage and anguish.

Anyone who equates or compares NYC to Victorville, CA (..for GOD’S sake!) in any way, shape or form -outside perhaps mentioning the fact that both are located within the continental USA- is a dimwit.

Please.

So the poor are being displaced from their urban ghettos — what’s the big deal?? Are you upset that we are inconveniencing these people by moving them?

They are clearly not doing that well currently. Maybe a move to some fringe suburb could be a change for the better??

> “ship lazy black folks out to the subprime suburbs, privatize their apartment buildings and hand them over to real estate developers.”

Um. So you never heard about HUD and New Urbanism?

In Austin Texas poor blacks run the suburbs via Section 8 government rental subsidies. The white hippies moved downtown to privately developed eco-housing on the land where black people lived in the 1980′s.

There must be societal churn for politically connected businesses to fleece the taxpayer livestock. No churn = no racket.

To the author, is there such a thing as a “white loser” to you? Because I nominate myself as this “white loser.” In case you have not seen Phillip Seymour Hoffman in “Happiness,” that’s me–pretending to be a fascist while I masturbate alone in my bedroom. Will someone please put me out of my misery?

Hey Yasha, how’s the crank out there, percentage wise? The worse the nasal burn, the better the go-fast. Does it feel like someone just shot a nail gun up your nose? That would be very good crank indeed. Anything less, well, it’s been stepped on.

To make it more like real gulag poor people should make bricks out of desert sand wearing ‘vatniks’ , ’cause section 8 vouchers are kinda nice, doubt your’s truly was handing those out for Siberian exurbs

Anyways, Victoryville is getting old.

So you’re finally getting banluies and Council Estates of your very own, huh?

Well, you Yanks are about 40 years behind us Euro-peons. We’ve been dumping our poor in the middle of nowhere since the sixties!

Hrm. What does Frank mean by “nearby” houses for Jordan Downs residents? Will single mothers have to ride the bus for four hours every day to work minimum-wage jobs?
