More colleges are looking at emergency housing solutions, including have students sleeping in alumni’s homes, napping pods, Airbnbs and even an assisted living facility.
Bro, I think you should find out more by asking questions first before jumping into conclusions.
We are currently suffering through a gentrification crisis here in Mexico. A lot of foreigners from the USA (some of whom are Latino as well) are moving in and are renting and buying land while working abroad and paying no taxes, effectively displacing the native population in states like Yucatán and paying outrageous rents for the most basic apartments that the rest of us can’t afford.
How do I know this? I’ve met them and I’ve been to their apartments and I’ve asked how much they’re paying and they told me they weren’t paying taxes and were telling their friends to do the same. There have also been numerous news reports on this because people have been protesting in Mexico City but I don’t doubt we’ll be seeing some in other places like Guadalajara as well.
It doesn’t make sense that rent keeps going up and up at disproportionate rates. I’m paying $1000 more than last year which is a 30% increase. My landlord effectively told me that if I didn’t like it I could find some other place. And guess what, I can’t afford any of the places I’ve looked into.
So, no, it’s not racist to say that wealthy foreigners are causing problems because our problems are not being cause by race but by income inequality and people breaking the rules.
Ironic, because when I was working in the States I paid all my taxes but these people come here and refuse to do the same.
