Since the 90's, local housing authorities have been tearing down their decrepit projects and relocating the inhabitants with rent vouchers into normal, seemingly nice-looking apartments in the suburbs.
Whereas once it was possible to avoid the "bad part of town," thanks to liberals' great ideas, now the bad part of town comes to you.
Limo conservatives embraced Section 8 vouchers, just as limo conservatives have embraced school vouchers - they seemed like market-based approaches and the theory was that people engaged in anti-social behavior because of their surroundings. We've since discovered that taking thugs out of ghettos does not change their predatorial tendencies. The problem with vouchers is that it exposes low and and lower-middle-income working people (of all races) to the murderous violence of black sociopaths. This out-of-control aggression is why so many people oppose school vouchers - it's busing on steroids. And anti-social behavior may have more of a genetic component than politically-correct conservatives are prepared to admit. It's not that all blacks are sociopaths, but just as some dog breeds are more likely to bite, some races are more likely to offend - call it hormones, call it genes. I call it reality.
