Yeah, I'm not really sure of the political message of the comparison. It's not surprising that wealthier people live in nicer areas with more greenspace....

Income inequality is not the enemy - in fact it is what incentivizes our economy and ultimately builds wealth for everyone. Corruption, lack of opportunity, abject poverty - those are the problems.

I'm not really sure of the political message of the comparison.

The linked page doesn't overtly make a political point. It simply shows the photos, as evidence that greenspace varies by wealth.

Maybe the rest of the site is into politics-- I haven't looked-- but I think any politics on this page are something the reader brings to the table.

He may have thought so because the phrase "income inequality" is usually used in the context of describing it negatively (in the US at least). I guarantee you that the phrase "income inequality" is used by Democrats in the Senate/House 10x as much as Republicans. No Republican is ever going to say their tax cuts for the wealthy "increase income inequality", they'll say it "helps the job creators create jobs".

Edits: Wow, I need to learn to make sure I reread sentences in full when I go back and reword something.

Yes and political messages are not always overt. The phrase "income inequality" is politically loaded and implies that equality is better.
