How to attract gays: San Francisco publication asks Ferndale for advice

FERNDALE - "Fashionable Ferndale," as local civic affectionados like to call this small, gay-friendly, trendy suburb of Detroit, is where urban planners now look for ideas to attract the gay community to help rebuild their towns and cities. Earlier this month, the San Francisco Business Times came to Craig Covey, Ferndale's openly gay councilman and mayor pro-tem, to give them advice - on how to attract gays and lesbians to their town!

"I asked the reporter if he realized how ironic it is that a San Francisco publication would seek advice from me. San Francisco is the 'gay-mecca,' and he's calling me - an official in a small Michigan enclave," said Covey. "How cool is that!"

The article "Oakland makes gay play; New enclave seen as economic boost" appeared in the March 19 issue of the SF Business Times. The city council in Oakland, which is close to San Francisco, has designated an area to become a gay center. They are investing significant dollars to support new businesses, cultural events and they are launching a marketing campaign to brand the neighborhood as a gay area.

Covey told them how it happened in Ferndale.

"We created slowly, house by house, a gay center in Ferndale, and began promoting it as the gay community center for metropolitan Detroit," Covey was quoted as saying. "It took a decade, and over time - there was a lot of resistance - but over time more and more gay and lesbian folks moved to the area. Home values began to creep up, the downtown area, which was a canyon, began to come back with a coffee shop here, a lesbian bookshop there, here a trendy clothing store."

"We are now considered the hottest area in metropolitan Detroit," Covey told the California publication. "House values have led the county for, like, nine years."

This isn't the only recognition that Ferndale has received nationally. Earlier this month, Dr. Richard Florida spoke to Detroit's civic leaders at the CreateDetroit conference and made the point that Ferndale recreated itself by attracting a "Creative Class" of people, and that the gay community was big part of the city's economic recovery. Florida defines the Creative Class in his book "The Rise of the Creative Class" and argues that cities and towns have to attract people, especially gay and lesbian people, who have proven a willingness to invest their time, money and energy into rebuilding urban areas.

So the rest of the country - and San Francisco no less! - has discovered what so many Ferndalians already know - Ferndale rocks!

Fags + Detroit. Sounds like an AIDS epidemiologist's worst nightmare.

Gays tend to have a lot of disposable income, and can afford to price undesirables out of the neighborhood. The fag model may be something to shoot for by upper class racially aware whites.

"Creative Class" my ass. What do these fag geniuses actually create? Women's clothes. They also coordinate drapes & throw pillows. Play with hair & makeup.

In short: they're incredibly shallow freaks whose every interest & occupation are ultimately connected to their obsession with their genitals & assholes. They're so predictable, it's as if there's a kike-owned factory cranking out lavender-scented carbon-copies.

They also write Daytime Soaps and those idiotic gothic romance bodice-rippers.

They do support and conduct business with each other exclusively, and I assume that to be the thread titles point?

If so I agree.

Hey, Mr. AA. Remember that I wouldn't let Hayden attend Sylvia's grad., unless you or me were there. Too many faggots in Ferndale.

I've done work in some of the wealthiest parts of Manhattan , NYC. One thing I noticed was it's impossible to tell how all the queers there are so wealthy, what do they live off?

What the Jewish cultural Marxists call the oppressed fags, are actually the West's leisure class. They design clothes, decorate houses, cut hair for other rich people, make pornography, and advertise overpriced crap. Fags are superficial like women , but often with the creativity of men, making for the perfect peddlers of expensive junk for credit card swiping women.

They usually don't have kids to raise (the only real reasons the bastards demanded the right to adopt children is because Normals don't want them to have them, and recruitment), so they can live a much more luxurious lifestyle than the average "breeders". Since faggots & dykes are apparently some fucked-up genetic stew of male & female, it's means they're both aggressive and tuned into women's desires & thoughts (such as they are): that's why they can get so many of the naive broads to buy their shit and support their filth by tugging at their heartstrings with constant cries of "the homophobes are bullying us!" :fag:

Forest,

the "Creative" types theyre talking about is probably some warped diversity scam.

In other words, males that like "female culture" are considered more "creative".

Females that like male activities are considered more enlightened.

Obviously then, straights are considered "narrow" minded and less diverse and creative.

This is my observation anyway.

yeah, and theres plenty of leisured wealthy aging mall rat females in new york, trophy wives who trolled away somebody elses husband.

Espeicaly when you throw the niggers in Little Apefreaka into the mix, makes Resdent Evil 2 look like a mild flu.

You know, when I first heard the term "Pioneer Little Europe," I thought it was so gay that I told people that it would never be exceeded in gayness by the White Nationalist movement.

And then they came up with this white rabbit/pink rabbit crap, and proved me wrong.
