This is the rule that allows them to put low-income housing in rich neighborhoods, whether they want it there or not.

Never-mind that any past attempts at building “the projects” have flushed billions down the crapper and destroyed entire towns.

My Aunt and Uncle lived in a beautiful old Polish neighborhood, until they bulldozed the houses across the street and put in “the projects”.

Their housing value went down to almost nothing, the area is now like a war zone, and “the projects” are empty, run down, rat-infested ghettos where all the plumbing was torn out, and all the homeless and drug dealers thrive.

It’s not rich neighborhoods. The rich are protected. It ‘s middle class neighborhoods in the burbs. And the problem isnt just dumping poor people into these areas. It’s sending large numbers of kids into the local schools, increasing local school budgets which must be paid by local homeowners since renters do not pay prop tax and the builders/owners of these new units will pay: zero if it is govt housing and very little because of tax incentives if privately built and owned.
