Australia: Real estate agent sends warning letter to 300 homes saying new housing block for the homeless and 'disadvantaged' will hurt their property values
Must not tell the truth
A real estate agent has spammed 300 households with a letter warning them their property values would plunge when a public housing block was built nearby.
Harcourts salesman Chris Parsons claimed many of his clients in Mandurah, south of Perth, planned to sell up rather than have 100 'socially disadvantaged' new neighbours.
Mr Parsons said he and other residents were concerned about the $28.1 million development's 'obvious effect on property values'.
The document, bearing the Harcourts Mandurah letterhead, asked if the home owner had been informed of the new building in their suburb.
'I am writing to you directly due to your close proximity to the upcoming development of a 50-apartment complex that will house up to 100 homeless and 'socially disadvantaged' residents,' the letter sent on Monday began.
'Many of my previous clients have already come to me with intentions to move out of the area after hearing of what is coming.
'I personally live in and own a home close to this planned development and have my own concerns, including the obvious effect on property values.'
Mr Parsons wrote that he met with the developers and discovered that due to council zoning rules, 'little to no' community consultation was required.
He told residents to call or email him to find out more about 'what this could mean for the future value of your home'.
Outraged recipients posted the letter on local social media groups, speculating that the letter was really a ploy to drive sales.
'To me it looks like a scare tactics letter for him to get you to sell your house. Do your homework. Plus this if it is true is a great project that will help so many less fortunate have a safe, warm place to live,' one local wrote.
After recipients complained, Mr Parsons wrote a grovelling apology and handed it out to the same 300 homes on Wednesday.
'I would like to apologise for any concerns this has caused, as a resident of this neighbourhood and a local real estate agent I have had discussions with members of the public around this topic and I was looking to gather further information, so that I could be in a better position to assist home owners where I can,' he wrote.
'It was not my intention to generate negativity around this development but instead to get a better understanding of the community sentiment in a small sample area within close proximity to the site.'
Mr Parsons added that he was confident the facility 'will be of benefit to the community' and be well run and maintained by local and state governments.
He wrote that Harcourts Mandurah had collected donations for a homeless support group in the area for more than 10 years.
The company said the initial letter was a case of Mr Parsons 'flying solo' and that it did not believe he was acting with any malice towards homeless people.

Hate Crime Hoax: Racist Graffiti that Caused Outrage at Missouri School Made by Black Student
Another hate crime hoax has been discovered in Missouri after the “racist graffiti” was found to have been made by a “non-white student.”
When the supposed racist graffiti was discovered at Parkway Central High School in St. Louis County early in September, outraged woke students organized a walkout to protest the so-called racism.
But an investigation has proven the whole thing to be a massive hoax, district Supt. Keith Marty said.
According to the Washington Examiner:
“The student responsible is not white,” Marty wrote. “This does not diminish the hurt it caused or the negative impact it has had on our entire community.”
The student admitted to writing the messages, and the graffiti constituted a violation of the district’s policies, Marty said.
“The student is facing severe disciplinary consequences and referral to law enforcement for investigation,” the letter read. “Parkway will continue to hold students responsible for any behavior that threatens or degrades others in our school community.”
Even though the student was not white, the school condemned the action and praised the student -led walkout efforts.
“Students proactively led walkouts at multiple Parkway high schools and in these moments, many students shared personal experiences of racism throughout their lives and at school,” Marty wrote.
Once again, we see that a so-called “outrageous hate crime” is all a fake attempt to gin up woke politics. When these cretinous leftists can’t find real racism, they invent it to push their agenda.

Special treatment for a particular type of skin color is brazen racism. All it takes to figure this out are two brain cells working in tandem, yet those who spout this type of nonsense seemingly do not get it. Leftists are "good" with feeling special as they try to make others imaginary victims. Leftists generally seem to be obsessed with making small efforts to make themselves look good big time. However, there is one obvious problem with this special line of thinking. Maybe it feels like "setting things right once and for all", but it is just very stupid.
