It is exactly that. There is little difference between Gummint housing, and shantytown suburbs. They should have the opportunity for ownership of private property. It seems like something simple, but even in France there are so many barriers, procedures, time involved, expense, that most are discouraged from starting the process. They can't even easily get permission to subdivide and sell property, and zoning also restricts the possibility. That's what they need, and that's what the politicians aren't getting off their padded seats to make happen.
It is an assimilation problem and giving them welfare and shacks does nothing to assimilate them.
