I must comment on this article.

Public anything is a disaster: look at public schools, transportation, housing; all of it is a mess. Living in Chicago, I realized in the 70's that these poor (in spirit) folks were being mass-housed to shut them up by Daley. When crack hit the streets in the 80's, the Henry Horner Homes and other 'model' public housing in Cicago became war zones, trapping literally millions of of several generations in the crossfire. Now the emphasis is on tearing these blights down and moving the families to the suburbs, like Bollingbrook and Woodridge, where I lived for several years next to people moving in from the projects. They need this chance, to get away from vertical incarceration and into the air. The inherent goodness of these vastly Christian yet illiterate people is blighted by their lack of opportunity in the City; imagine having to walk 2 or three miles through gangland just to go to a grocery store because there are none in the projects. When I realized the inhumanity of public housing, I stopped blaming these people and started blaming the real culprit: Liberals.

However, there is one outsatnding issue that must someday be settled, and that is punishment of the Liberals who condemned these folk to public housing. Daley and his family, the Dems in the City Council, and all the other anti-humans that run Chicago have not been properly punished for their blatant, cynical, crimes against huimanity and their inherent racism, a racism that seems to have changed very little since the Dems owned slaves before the civil war regardless of the rhetoric.

Oh yeah all that crime and blight was caused by the Martians that came down and destroyed those housing projects. Bet all the fine folk who worked all their lives so that they could buy a home in the suburbs just LOVE having inner city welfare families GIVEN homes on their blocks. By the way, those housing projects sit on prime near downtown real estate, and will be turned over into lovely, expensive condo's, at great profit to those in the "club" in Chicago. Meanwhile the other neighborhoods in the City and suburbs will have to deal with the problems this is going to cause.

They were already like this in the 60's. That's why crack hit the streets there. Just another new product launch by the local Recreational Drugs Division of the Intercity Crime Corporation.
