They are moving "the poor" to the suburbs. The process has been ongoing for some time now. I see it in the burbs where I live. In some cases, the homes are high dollar foreclosures, owned by banks, which are now converting them to section 8 housing, as part of HUD initiatives.
There is no escaping the violence in the suburbs as long as the fed govt has the money to feed, clothe, and shelter them, right next door to you.
I read an article recently from a reporter in Fairfax, Va. He disclosed HUD/Section 8 was placing "the poor" in luxury high rise condos in Fairfax. Homes the working class could not afford.
