Re:Sanders boosts opposition to East Boston plan to build mix of 10,000 market and affordable new homes

What about the needs of the 10,000 people who would live there? Because a non-English-speaking neighbor may or may not have given informed acquiescence, all these plans are on hold?
Interesting – it seems almost the opposite of leftish practices regarding our national borders and immigration.

Socialist destruction of the private housing market–

Critics offer a false choice between Seattle-style homeless encampments and unsustainably expensive government housing developments. In fact, there is a well-tested socialist alternative, the internal passport.

There were no unsightly homeless encampments in Soviet Moscow because you could not move there without a government permit (“propiska”).

Indigenous peoples. First define that.
I was born here. No living person has ever met an ancestor of mine who was not themselves born here. Some of my ancestors can be traced back to europe, others seem to have been here time immemorial. My DNA says most came from europe and north africa, with minimal amounts of Asian blood.

Compare with those labeled as indigenous to North America.
They were born here, no living person has ever met an ancestor of theirs who was not themselves born here. Some ancestors can be traced back to europe, others seem to have been here time immemorial. Their DNA says most ancestors came from Asia, with variable amounts of european blood.

So what distinguishes the average non-indigenous person from an indigenous person, other than current chosen lifestyle? A little more europe in the DNA, is that it?
