Said Angie Ostaszewski "How a TikToker Brought Hundreds of Transplants to a Midwestern City/People hoping to become homeowners have answered the call to relocate to Peoria, Ill., where the housing is affordable and a one-person welcoming committee awaited them" (NYT).
Here's one of her videos:

It would be a sound goal for many to look away from the call of the coastal cities, toward the middle of the country, the Midwest, to find nice towns with affordable housing, that they could rejuvenate and remake. The problem will come if they are all progressives and try to remake Peoria into Seattle or Portland. Or Brooklyn. The Midwest, aside from the college towns, are just hard working, salt of the earth type people. They probably are fine with their existing pronouns, guns, and churches.
Maybe the sissy pants Chinese LGBTQ+etc content creators need to check out Angie's videos.
Will sissy pants play in Peoria?
"airy" - that word cracks me up.
There's air in there. omg - I'll take it!
Political congruence is a method of diversity under the Pro-Choice ethical religion, which is why trans/homosexuals and racists feel comfortable socially distancing themselves from others people in the transgender spectrum and the general population in progressive communities.
@angieslistings
Wonder if she'll get trademark blow back from Angi (formerly Angie's List)?
For real metastatic cancer there's chemotherapy. I don't know what the answer is for the likes of normal, conservative cities like Peoria.
Illinois is a blue shithole. Don't move to Illinois unless you like blue shitholes.
This has been a public service announcement.
"I’m trying to show people that they can move here and actually have a reasonable mortgage, while building on the progressive community that is here."
As long as the community you're talking about is already progressive, that's cool. What's not cool is moving someplace and trying to turn it progressive.
Gross idea
As a man of colorlessness, I am offended by the pointless preening of POC.
Generational poverty?
First of all, isn't gayness not inheritable? If it is not inheritable how can it be subject to generational anything?
Second, isn't the gay and lesbian demographic on average more highly educated and wealthier than the general population? This is why advertisers started pounding them so hard in the first place.
So they don't have generational anything, and they don't have even single generation poverty, so what is this person on about?
"How a TikToker Brought Hundreds of Transplants to a Midwestern City."
So now they are identifying as plants.
Ask me in five years how that worked out.
"They don’t have family that can pass down housing or other assets."
LOL pissed myself a bit there. I am handling my elderly parents' finances and keeping an eye on the whole "Medicaid spenddown" thing. Got some news for you young folks: even if you do have any assets in the family, it may very well be all spent on medical care and assisted living.
Oh, how precious!
Yikes posted too soon! I do agree overall with the idea of more people moving to the Midwest in a 'pioneering' spirit. Much smarter than staying in an expensive coastal city and whining about the cost of housing. Find an off the beaten path place and get on with your life.
Is there a requirement to sport bizarrely colored hair once you join the ranks of the progressive?
Will this play in Peoria?
Apparently it will...
I sometimes get ads promising that I can meet bisexual women, but they're not usually encouraging me to buy a house.
Why would queer people be especially likely to come from generational poverty?
"Will it play in Peoria?" looks like it is going to take on a new meaning.
"For a lot of people of color and queer people, there is this generational poverty that continues to get passed down. They don’t have family that can pass down housing or other assets." Did her parents disown her and leave their house and savings to the Hare Krishnas? Or was she counting on (hypothetical) children to pass assets "up" to her?
Illinois taxes suck...
"When looking for a place to move, we intentionally asked, are we going to be accepted as a queer women of color here?"
I've spent plenty of time in Peoria. Ms. Munguía will be accepted as an individual. There are nice people in Peoria, like there are in most of fly-over country. Nobody cares that she's queer or of color. Take care of your yard, don't be a loud neighbor and handle your business.
Let's hear it for the new segregation while noting who, exactly, is promoting it.
Perhaps we are better with a return to tribalism.
Yep, bring your progressive values. Ruin another town. One by one, the left will destroy it all.
Queer Flight.
I think it’s a good thing for people in high priced cities to move to affordable small towns. Hispanics have been doing this for decades.
She sounds like the old 1970s Block Buster real estate agents. They'd find a black family to break into a white block then sign up the other homeowners for profit. In the '70s when a neighborhood had black families move in, the city would put in Section 8 housing bringing in the lower income, but also plenty black and white who would bring crime and violence. So the original blacks would have to move again. Real estate agents made a lot of money off the churn.
It's hard for me to understand how "queer" people disproportionately suffer "generational" poverty. So far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a suggestion that queerness is genetic, has there? It would seem difficult to pass on a gene or genes for sexual preferences that don't produce children.
I guess we're into the second(?) generation of out gay couples' being welcomed as adoptive parents, and I think about the same timeframe for surrogacy and "test tube babies." And prior to that, I thought that gay couples tended to be better off than straight couples with kids. (I may be misinformed there.) But in any case, is hard to have generational poverty in a social subgroup that doesn't tend to produce full generations.
I can see one generation of pictures of the queer person's parents disown them. But why would the queer person do the same thing to his, her, or "their" children.
There's always the possibility that "queer" people are actually largely straight people who want to be interesting.
The American Dream at its best. Like minded people gathering in communities and governing themselves.
"Housing is affordable."
Why can't we get homeless people to move there? After all, the problem is the high cost of housing in the over-homelessed cities. Right?
Does she sell real estate as a side gig?
So her market is people who are on small trust funds?
SSI?
I mean, you can't buy a $50k house in the same city you can find even a $50k job. Just doesn't happen.
Leaves people who don't have to work, but not attractive to retirees either, due to climate.
"But she hasn’t stopped there. Ms. Ostaszewski throws “transplant parties” for all the new people who come to Peoria after seeing her TikTok — she’s rented out a yoga studio for a Beyoncé dance night, and hosted a vegan brunch with drag performances.
Local businesses have felt the impact. “Business has just skyrocketed for me,” said Jessica Stephenson, the owner of Lit. on Fire Books. Ms. Stephenson first opened the bookstore, which focuses on selling works by marginalized authors, in 2015, and now, it’s become a popular spot for new Peorians to mingle and make friends."
And a remodel via $60k American Rescue Plan grant.
New World Cults and Communes, chapter #4,129.
The pre-US colonies had religious Pilgrims who left Europe. We then had Amish and Mennonites who left Europe. We had -- then radical polygamists -- Mormons get run out of Massachusetts and Illinois before settling in Utah where they could control local politics. We had many new Temperance Era offshoots of Protestantism found their own schools and churches. We had nudists form nude resorts. We had sex researchers form group sex communes. We had hippies try to grow organic wheat in communes until they realized it was too hard and then go back to the cities. We had an Indian-extract commune in Oregon implode. We had artists follow famous artists into weird art communes. We had Jim Jones cause the deaths of almost 1,000 mostly Black people in Jonestown. We had a transgender-friendly ranch collapse in the last year.
So now, idealistic city folks once again go off to form a communal utopia. It may last -- as with Mormon Utah -- or it may quickly dissolve back into the mainstream. Or, it may go down in flames. Not news. Americans are fond of cults and communes, but often not very good at running them.
A lot of her TikToks are her showing off her (diverse, queer) hotdog fingers (of color) after she got her nails did. I can see why she's so popular.
There’s not enough gay furries in the heart land! Spread your mental illness and depravity to Peoria!
gay couples' being welcomed as adoptive parents
cisgender couples or couplets: two men and a womb.
Is there a requirement to sport bizarrely colored hair once you join the ranks of the progressive?
It's part and parcel of albinophobic ("Rainbow") culture.
Person of color? Sure you are, lady.
She's not a "lady" individual. As a "person of color", she's a member of a color bloc under diversity (i.e. class-disordered ideologies including racism, sexism), inequity, exclusion (DIE) or DIEversity under Progressive sects' ethical religion.
Wasn't it "Climate Proof Duluth" last week?
“Illinois is a blue shithole. Don't move to Illinois unless you like blue shitholes.
This has been a public service announcement.”
I was going to say, that they should move to a nice rural town in a normal, not shithouse, state. But at least innWMT, and N ID, prices have being going bonkers the last couple years. So figure that buying a house in Peoria, will get you the shithouse state discount.
When Caterpillar moves completely out of Peoria, the housing will be even cheaper.
Not a lot of economic growth in Peoria unless you count the meth labs.
Okay, now I'm convinced: Ban TikTok.
True, but it’s very boring.
"will it play in Peoria?"
Everything old is new again.
...there is this generational poverty that continues to get passed down.
Can't one ask to be written out of the will?
I love when sh exclaims it's ONLY a 2 1/2 hour drive to either Chicago or St. Louis.
Why it's almost next door.
One supposes some of the new Peorians can work remotely. The majority will soon discover why you can buy a starter home or $50k.

Illinois is a blue shithole. Don't move to Illinois unless you like blue shitholes.
South of Chicago, Illinois is rather Red/Republican.
The remark about what happens to Peoria if Caterpillar completely moves out is a good one. My father's western Illinois hometown is definitely less prosperous than it used to be.
My black Irish uncle went to school in Peoria @ Bradley. He told me that back in the day, midnight mass on Sunday was cancelled because so many attendees came to mass after a Saturday night binge. Or did they keep midnight mass even with so many bingers attending?
Actually, Peoria was one of the few downstate Illinois counties that went for Biden: 51-45.
