Inner city ghettos should be demolished and replaced with good housing for families. Such a visionary project would create construction jobs with apprentice training for men & women and provide those same residents with salaries, self respect and a future. Wages for work, not welfare!!!!!!

We just need to find an individual with a successful record in construction.

Wow! What you are suggesting would require a dictator with a “Five Year” plan. What would replace it? Cement block soviet-style housing?
What needs to be rebuilt are the hearts and souls of the people living there. Do that and the cities would be rebuilt by them.

Demolishing the ghettos would destroy the very significant architectural beauty of these buildings and neighborhoods.

By the way, I was born and raised in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. My grandparents lived in Fishtown. I lived in four of the worst sections of Philadelphia as a young adult when I attended post high schooling training, undergrad and graduate school. ( Powelton Village, West Philly, inner city, and North Broad St.)

The buildings you would destroy are very very beautiful both on the outside and inside.

“Inner city ghettos should be demolished and replaced with good housing for families.”

That was the idea when they were built. You can take a rat out of da hood,...
