297. He says he's being adversely affected by the overcrowded apartments
across the street, which mean that people are spending most of their time outside and in his and his neighbors yards. And they're doing things that belong inside.

And he is also worried about blight being declared. One of the measures that they use is the number of police calls that come in from an area, so that the more complaints that are called in, the higher their risk of being declared blighted.

It doesn't seem to matter how well I spell it out for you, though. You're entirely missing the point that the specifics aren't that important. What IS important is that if people like him listen to enough Democrats like you condemn them and call them racist, then they may decide that perhaps the Republicans ARE the ones that do understand and care about them.

He doesn't want a lecture. He doesn't want some white person telling him he's wrong. He wants to know that the Democrats are listening, and that they have something more to offer than platitudes and accusations of intolerance.
