my friend said don't go to their apartment complex before noon! I asked WHY? She said they sleep till noon, then they roll out of bed, and go to a Fast Food place and buy lunch, with EBT money. She said they have boxes stacked up to the ceiling, from burger and pizza places.
She said any time they build new fed gov subsidized apartments, within 6 months, they are ghetto, with graffito and bullet holes.
In Texas the fed gov has been building gorgeous fancy two story mansions for the “poor” to live in.

Sunnyside residents sing praises of South Acres Ranch
HOUSTON Next month a housing development in the Sunnyside community of Houston will celebrate its second phase of construction and its potential impact in one of the city s oldest neighborhoods.
South Acres Ranch is marketed as a high-end housing development for low-income Houstonians. The gated community of 128 four-bedroom, single-family homes is located on Scott Street, south of Airport Road. It features amenities unusual to Sunnyside: a community center, six playgrounds, a multi-level pool, ponds and fountains at the gated entries, and a covered bus depot area for school children waiting for the bus.
I like the openness, said Linda Pepper, 62, of her newly rented home that costs her less than $1,000 a month. {If you cannot pay, no problem, you are not kicked out}
Affordable housing that s very nice, said the recent St. Louis transplant. I never, never expected to find a rental property like this. Never in all my life.
Financed partly with federal tax credits, South Acres Ranch provides single-family homes, without a government-subsidized look or feel to the property.
Resident Kina Jefferson says this will be home until she can buy a house of her own.
It feels like a sense of a family home in a neighborhood. I just love the feel, she said.
It brings a great deal of excitement when they move in, said developer Barry Kahn of Hettig-Kahn Development Corp. And having an opportunity of bringing their friends over and saying this is my house.
It s given the bank an opportunity to showcase what we call investing for good, said John Yochum of Capitol One Bank.
The good includes quality and secure housing for families making roughly $40,000 or less a year. Streets in the gated complex were purposely named after noted community leaders. The homes are across from Houston s Kipp Academy. And South Acres Ranch management offers onsite tutoring for children and financial literacy classes for adults at the community center.
Hettig-Kahn developed the property, along with Capital One Bank, the City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
“That is the way it’s going for cities. They will become the ‘Wild West’ where no honest or decent person would want to live, work or invest.”
Yes, that is the way here in NJ. One small section of Jersey City was gentrified, but otherwise they are horrible. Asbury Park even got listed on a website for ghost towns...
“Both parties are marching us toward Socialism, the democrats will just get us there faster.”
I don’t know; Bush II’s prescription drug benefit was a big step. There is only one party, and the sparring is theater for our benefit.
