the concept of the american dream is inherently racist and classist. it's all about escaping the problems caused by capitalism (poverty, crime, etc.) and of course the spectre of "crime" that all these middle-class families are trying to escape is so racially coded you could write a book about it (and i'm sure several people have). the promise of upward mobility is only for white folks.this applies doubly to gated communities, which are just shitty fortresses for paranoid racists.

and our dear leader is promising to remove the troubling shadow of scaaaaaaaaaaaary low-income housing from these white-flight suburbs. it's two steps from declaring it straight-up illegal to be poor.
