There's a difference between inequality and just plain handing out taxpayer gold for refugees. Brunwulf never said that he's going to just give away money, he's going to 1) renovate the Grey Quarter and 2) increase guard patrols, in order to bring the Quarter on par with the rest of Windhelm.

He also plans on abolishing Ulfric's decree that forbade Argonians from purchasing property inside the city, but then he'll have to wait for either new houses to be built or one of the current residents to move out for it to actually have an effect.

Right...so fixing the dunmer only grey quarter with tax payer money isn't handing out? The dunmer pay no taxes and are not citizens of Skyrim, ergo they cannot in all fairness get the same maintainance actual citizens get.

Ulfric's decree was there for a reason...if the dunmer weren't so racist then the argonians would've been safe inside the walls as well. The Dunmer (probably) were'nt doing taxes because they feel that any of the money would be benefitting them. Thus Ulfric saw no reason (assuming that he isn't racist, or at least not to the Dark Elves) to renovate the gray quarter: because the Dark Elves don't pay taxes. It's an endless loop, you see. Now the solution that Ulfric could come up with, would be to renovate the Gray Quarter, so long as the Dark Elves began paying taxes, or at the very least had them pay for the rennovation.
