The place that my aunt lived built “the projects” across the street.
it USED TO BE a beautiful old polish neighborhood. They had celebrations for all the holidays and the streets were filled with people and so much fun.
Then they built “the projects”
Within one year you could not safely walk the streets. The housing prices plummeted to 1/5th of their original value.
Everyone moved, the place was taken over by drug dealers and gangs. These days it looks like a war zone.
And all for about $165,000 PER PERSON (and this was 20 years ago) They could have bought every single man, woman, and child an entire house EACH for 1/3 of that.
That’s what happens when you vote Democrat to ‘help people’
In Singapore, they put these type of people off on some of the smaller islands and deliver occasional food shipments . The either get cured of their drug addiction or Darwin takes care of them.
And that house would have been trashed within a year.
There's a neighborhood near here that is all run down but it has a good location. Developers have been going in building $450,000 houses and the residents are outraged. They claim housing is getting too expensive for them to continue to live in their neighborhood. Huh? That's crazy.
Most people would be thrilled to live in an area that is being beautified and values are going up. These people don't want their houses to be more valuable. Stupid is as stupid does.
At least it pushed those Polacks to assimilate and become regular white Americans. I;) I am half-Polish, and those neighborhoods died even when there were no projects. Without immigration, ethnic neighborhoods never survive thanks to assimilation and upward mobility.
