That’s interesting....here in Mich they did the same thing. They tore down & are still tearing down the projects in Detroit & all the low incomers & section 8’rs are moving into the area suburbs. We regular owners & renters have been told by our communities that in & between regular priced rentals & homes that there must be inserted low income available units & housing.
The slogan being used to get the people out of Detroit is “you can get the same deal out in the suburbs plus a nicer place to live”.
...hmmm.
But, for how long will it be "nicer"?
will be nicer, until they realize they need a car to get everywhere. Whats going to happen then? Bus service in the suburbs? Car and gas vouchers? Seems as though this is not well thought out. Most poor folks living in the cities are not car owners, they usually walk, take the bus, or the subway. The same price but only nicer is going to be a rude awakening with car payments, auto maintenance and repair, insurance, gas, oil changes, and more without the help of government subsidies (low cost or free tokens for the subway/buses) etc.
Unintended consequences?
