Once they are grown perhaps.

Massachusetts' 40B law requires mixing low-income and high-income housing while trampling all local zoning laws. It's been a real disaster. Funny how this mixed-income housing is NEVER in lawmakers' neighborhoods...

your right! I missed that this was actually arguing against mixed income housing. I just didn’t read in far enough.

thanks

I like that someone actually did a study to see if what everybody thinks is true is actually true: in this case, “everybody knows” that kids in ghettos do worse than kids in mixed income neighborhoods. No one questions this “fact”, it just seems like it is true, so it is. But, before you spend a ton of money, and trash good neighborhoods in the process, at least do a study to see if what you think is true is actually true.

Of course! To steal, there needs to be something to steal.
