Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. By that definition "investing" more money in those neighborhoods is the ultimate definition of insanity/stupidity.

Can anyone name ONE!!! neighborhood like the ones in Baltimore and other similar 'hoods that have benefited from the billions/trillions "invested" in them?

We should confront Obama with this.

In his planned opening to Cuba, he said if you have done something for 50 years which isn’t working, you should try something different.

Well, the War on Poverty is now 50 years old. Trillions have been spent in anti-poverty programs of various types. Have any of them worked???

These liberal programs are near and dear to the hearts of Obama and other liberals. Let’s make them use the same criteria as espoused for opening up to Cuba. 50 years in, the war on poverty is a failure. So let’s change what we are doing.

I thought some neighborhoods have redeveloped in places like Brooklyn? But, these neighborhoods have “gentrified” or been redeveloped through private investment, not through government programs. Just saying, you do hear sometimes about redevelopment in some cities.
