Rosie O’Donnell’s NJ home
to be demolished, turned
into affordable housing

After years of not being able to find a buyer for her Saddle River mansion, Rosie O’Donnell finally caved and sold her home at a loss, The Post has learned. But the home’s next residents are already causing a stir in the tony neighborhood, home to the rich and famous, from rapper Ja Rule to singer Mary J. Blige. The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom abode is expected to be demolished and turned into a series of affordable housing units per a landmark public court settlement with Fair Share Housing Center. But the agreement has left its upscale residents outraged.(Snip)“It’s one of the most exclusive

Comments:

State law usually requires 100% of such units to be "affordable." Because these folks are super-special, only 20% of units fit that category, but the locals object that their Fine Town has none of the usual amenities required by The Impoverished, and thus should have none. They care, but not that much; reap what you sow.

What can possibly go through these numbskulls’ heads when they mock other people who aren’t “enlightened” enough to want low income housing in their middle class neighborhoods? Do they judge and sneer because they believe they are immune? Do they understand that being above the fray and demanding that others sacrifice does not make them noble? Do they honestly believe that living in some of the most desirable real estate in the country offers them some magical exclusion from the ramifications of the communism they call socialism and admire so much? Trump Towers and other Trump properties not to mention President Trump must be looking pretty good about now, eh Saddleback?

So, they are going to tear down a big mansion in order to subdivide the property and build several houses on it, with the 20% "affordable" houses segregated and scrunched in the back of the property for the peasants? I hate real estate developers AND I hate most of these stupid laws and requirements for private land use.

Ryan Weyandt, a West St. Paul resident and founder of LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance, commissioned a vibrant "Black Lives Matter" mural for his wooden fence last summer. Now, after it became something of a local landmark, the city of West St. Paul says it must be removed because it violates code. The mural at the corner of Butler and Smith avenues also bears the beaming face of 2020 mayoral candidate Kimetha "Kae Jae" Johnson.(Snip) There's been backlash, too. Weyandt said he and his husband received verbal harassment "laced with profanity, anti-LGBTQ sentiments and general disapproval" of the mural from one neighbor.

Sean “Diddy” Combs on Thursday accused General Motors and corporate America of “exploiting” Black culture and “manipulating” Black people into accepting incremental progress instead of radical change. “The same feet these companies use to stand with us in solidarity are the same feet they use to stand on our necks,” the record executive and former rapper wrote on his website Revolt. “No longer can Corporate America manipulate our community into believing that incremental progress is acceptable action. Corporations like General Motors have exploited our culture, undermined our power, and excluded Black entrepreneurs from participating in the value created by Black consumers.”

Happy Meals will soon get harder to find at Walmart. This summer, hundreds of McDonald’s eateries located inside Walmart stores across the US are slated to close because of sluggish business—a trend that was accelerated by the pandemic. The decades-old partnership between the largest restaurant chain and largest retailer in the world has been fraying for years. There were about 1,000 McDonald’s restaurants inside Walmart stores during their heyday, but by 2020 there were half as many McDonald’s stores, Walmart confirmed.(Snip) Margins at McDonald’s Walmart locations have likewise been hit as “customers at times loaded up on refills and condiments,”

Prince Harry is preparing to return to the UK for the first time since leaving Royal duties after the death of Prince Philip - but questions remain over whether Meghan will join him. Harry's grandfather's death comes weeks after they gave an interview to Oprah alleging racism in the Royal Family which aired while Philip was in hospital. The Sussexes, who faced calls to postpone the interview because Philip was unwell, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the duke, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be before he was born.
