Interesting b/c historically, wealthy towns have also contained neighborhoods where the zoning allowed smaller lots, smaller houses, apartments and allowed small businesses. This is where the employees who maintained the large homes and estates lived. The real estate boom inflated these home values to the point that the service employees could no longer afford them, and they now need to travel in from a distance. So I doubt that the Crips, Bloods and Black Disciples will be taking over the low income housing in the Hamptons and Chappaqua. It will mostly be people who have jobs (like the IT people who are tasked with erasing Hillary's hard drives) but earn much less than the rich n' famous people who employ them.
The "amenities" available in low income housing in high income areas aren't going to reflect the "desires" of typical problem residents of the hood. It will mostly be low income people who want to work, and they are very different from low income people who do not want to work.
Like every other half-baked social engineering idea of the last 50 years, this one is pretty much guaranteed to backfire.
I remember the story of an upper class community classifying servants’ quarters as affordable housing in their neighborhood.
I think we’ll see a rash of houses approved for 6-8 assisted living patients approved as affordable housing for the elderly.
Mother in law suites approved and classified as affordable housing.
The halfway house for retarded adults approved because it is less troublesome than the alternative.
