Liberal democrats trying to correct one social experiment F-up with another F-up. Share the crime with everybody.
“We’re gonna import thieves, muggers, rapists, gangbangers, and murderers - and YOU’RE gonna pay for it.”
Still further erosion of the constitution.
And, if the Odevil admin can’t get them to take “low income” residents he will push “syrian” refugees on them. Anything to stick his middle finger in the eye of the white people.
Those mean racist landlords. How dare they object to having to do thousands of dollars worth of repairs every time a tenant moves out.
I wonder if the limousine libs in NW DC would go for this there. Maybe one reason the bad parts of DC are gentrifying and pushing low-lifes into PG County—before this happens to them.
Thirty million would pay for a lot of policing.
Sowing seeds of destruction into the few remaining relatively good suburban schools.
The government peon bastards telling the people who pay them what to do. In a real world, that wouldn’t happen.
This was done in Newport News back in the mid-80s. The reasoning was that the good citizens would raise the level of the criminals to our level. It didn’t work.
We lived in a nice working class apartment complex. It went Section 8. Gang bangers and drug dealers moved in, working people moved out. We stuck it out for a couple years until rounds came through our front door.
If they were serious about the problems plaguing these low-income neighborhoods, why wouldn’t they police those neighborhoods, and start attacking the root of the problem—the racist and victim mentalities instilled into these people from birth?
Moving them into the more affluent neighborhoods will only cause the middle class to abandon those neighborhoods, leaving even larger swaths of Baltimore in the grips of urban decay. This is supposed to help, how?
“agreeing to spend $30 million over the next 10 years to build 1,000 homes in affluent neighborhoods.”
Thats 30 thousand per home. Cant see government accomplishing it that cheaply
Spreading the sh##
This is perfectly true. Dispersal is part of the solution. The question is how to do it. It gets tricky because most jurisdictions don't let a free market operate in housing. We have zoning and occupancy rules that have the effect, and often the purpose, of excluding low income housing and therefore poor people from many suburban neighborhoods. Suburbanites come to think of this as the natural way of the world. It's not.
In a free market, poor people (some of them, at least; the ones who want to escape the hellholes) would double and triple up to live in better areas closer to jobs and better schools. A free market would encourage group homes and informal rentals of basements and spare bedrooms. (Strengthening landlord rights would help here.) A free market would let your neighbor turn his house into a duplex and allow developers to build small apartment buildings on suburban cul de sacs. And a free market would NOT have federal, state, and local housing assistance programs that systematically concentrated poor people into big projects in project-heavy parts of town, chosen because they offered the path of least political resistance.
Instead of forcing suburbs to accept Section 8 housing or mandated numbers of low income apartments, let's turn Section 8 and other housing support programs into vouchers, tell poor people to find their own apartments, and get rid of the occupancy rules that prevent three low income families from renting a suburban tract house next door to you.
Dispersal is part of the solution. We have to stop using core cities as dumping grounds.
The old argument that if you mix dog crap with ice cream, you improve both.
I have a friend who owns several modest rental units. Some years ago she decided out of kindness to rent to some Section 8 tenants. The tenants trashed two of her units and were nearly impossible to evict. The tenants caused many headaches and cost her a lot of money.
She learned her lesson: No good deed goes unpunished.
Roland Park projects... ?
There is no difference between this than rubbing wet leprosy on your body for the result is the same...you get leprosy.
The same rot applies to moving animals from one cesspool into a clean area. They simply bring their animalistic, barbaric moraless ways with them and destroy the value of the properties hard working, law abiding citizens worked all of their life to afford.
The perfect description of disintegrating slums into good neighborhood is liberalism and Political Correctness run amuck.
