Just call it what it is - a place to house the peasants

| August 3, 2021 1:00 AM

Let's call the mayor's workforce housing proposal what it really is: a place to house the peasants, or if you prefer, people, who "serve you."

Don't believe me? Do a search of KTVB7's article about Ketchum, Idaho's tent-city proposal for workers who lack affordable housing, and read the subhead.

The elites of the past had workforce housing for the people/peasants who served them, too. Those places were called "slave camps," "work houses," and "servants' quarters."
