No, I live on Golf. Many years ago, though, I lived on Dickerson. In other cities, I lived on pikes, in low-income housing, in my car, in warehouses, etc.
I’ve also lived in my car? But this isn’t the sympathy Olympics. I didn’t suggest where other people should be forced to live. You did. I suggested what we who are stably housed should be willing to accept on property that we do not own.
"Forced to live"? Who has said that? People will live where they can afford to live. They will buy the food that they can afford to buy: beans & rice for some; Turnip Truck for others. That's capitalism. I don't like it, and, thus,...
...clearing out regulations to make capitalism stronger is not a way to solve the problems that capitalism has created.
What we agree on is that no one should be unhoused and that we need more housing for the working class. Bulldozing houses in Black neighborhoods isn't the way to make that happen.
Yes, people must live where they can afford, and Metro needs to build housing for the unhoused & the working-class--or provide incentives for developers to do so (although the state hampers our ability to do this).
Bulldozing Bordeaux and cramming it with hexplexes won't solve these problems.

Your turn.

You express a concern for working class neighbors and then say people should just have to live where they can afford. Your arguments are inconsistent.
