Its happening in Chicago, Philly, New Orleans, Atlanta, Detroit, New York,
and what I suggest to you is to get involve with H.U.D. Go research
their site at Homes and Communities - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Your government is doing alots of underminded
bullshit, and people just don't realize it. |
Habitat for Humanity for one. Older apartment complexes owned by church groups or others for another. Its not a fact that ONLY THE GOVERNMENT can solve our needs. That is a "progressive" ideology that has proven to be wrong over and over. Who has the worst housing? Government sponsered housing since the managers, tenents, owners, have no vested interest in maintaining housing in good order. Again I will use my wife's tenure at the YWCA project in Jacksonville as an example. When it was privately held by the Y she was able to maintain order and a high level of upkeep. Tenents were required to sign contracts outlining the rules regarding trash collection, the ability of maintenance personel to come into the apartments to fix broken pipes etc, for pest control or what ever. After the Y brought in the Federal government via HUD all those rules had to go out the window. The complex went from a model of low income housing to just another slum.
