Disney’s Affordable Housing Plan Is Self-Interest, Not Socialism
Conservatives are convinced that Disney is trying to implement a radical left agenda. But even with its altruistic-seeming new housing development for workers, the company is just looking out for the bottom line.

Leftists have sprinkled magic fairy dust on Disney and turned it Marxist. That’s the message currently filtering through conservative media, anyway. To hear conservative commentator Mark Levin tell it, “The Magic Kingdom is now a woke asylum.”
If you were to take these spurious claims at face value, perhaps the company’s recent decision to build 1,300 units of affordable housing in the Orlando area is a logical next step. “We are invested in working together with our community to solve complex issues,” said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort. “The lack of affordable housing is affecting many people across our country, including right here in Central Florida.”
Solving issues for workers! What’s next for the radical left? Will Donald Duck expropriate Cinderella’s castle? Will Mr Toad face the guillotine? Will Disney soon roll out Mr Marx’s Wild Ride?
