Liberals are in such denial. The reality is, they know the truth, but they can’t fathom having to admit it.

Section 8 housing is an absolute disaster. It ruins the neighborhoods, the commercial areas, and the schools. This notion that you can change people merely by changing their environment is one of the most basic of liberalism’s flaws (of which there are many).

My town leveled an old 60’s brick one story apartment type public housing project and replaced it with nice, trendy, architecturally appealing townhouses. The crime rate hasn’t changed a bit.

Unfortunately political correctness doesn’t allow us to discuss this problem accurately.

We’re not supposed to notice or care if certain groups of people perpetrate crime. We’re not supposed to talk about subject such as fatherless children getting in trouble with the law, or family upbringing, because then that hurts somebody’s feelings, and then it’s also pointed out that not everyone growing up in difficult circumstances turn out to be a criminal.

As a former Democrat, you must know the inside rationalization. What do they say in their heart of hearts?

Here is a good example of the kind of thinking that leads to high murder reates in the Hood.
