The author seems to argue that poverty is lessened by having public housing spread out in an urban area. Mind you, the author doesn't live next to a public housing project.

Poverty is racist.

Moral poverty forges the chains that impoverish and enslave a culture for generations.

If life is so horrible in America, why don’t they just go back to their homeland?

The “housers” as Jane Jacods calls them, did this on purpose because they were eugenicists and racist.

Poor black people tend towards violent crime in their own neighborhoods while poor white people tend towards non-violent property crimes in their own neighborhoods.

The difference is that you still have some viable businesses in poor white neighborhoods and the government services are more likely to work in those neighborhoods since government workers are less likely to be murdered in those neighborhoods.

Moving violent blacks into white neighborhoods is just going to ruin decent neighborhoods for decent people of any race. Most decent black people refuse to live in poor black neighborhoods and who can blame them?

A poor black family, in short, is much more likely than a poor white one to live in a neighborhood where many other families are poor, too,

She has a point. Everyone knows that poor white folks all live in $200K houses in the suburbs.

Or in suburban areas. Liberals and progressives don't realize that public housing is one cause of porverty.

A lot of poor whites are rural. Almost all poor blacks are urban. It’s a preference, rural or urban, not bias. “Busing” didn’t work with schools, everybody hated it. It’s sure not going to work tampering with peoples’ living arrangements.

I live in an older neighborhood that is beginning to see lots of renters move in to houses around, most either black or latino. They throw trash on the streets while walking, and out the car windows while driving. Every week I pick up beer bottles, liquor bottles and junk food wrappers off my well kept yard, and since I live on a corner lot I have two streets to keep clean. It never was this way before they installed BASKETBALL GOALS in the park across the street. Now there are tennis shoes on the power lines all around the park, and we all know what that means.

So the author is FULL OF CRAP!..................

The author is an urban blogster with a pedigree even the WP won’t herald in any specificity.

She doesn’t know what the hell poverty is, nor has she ever seen it outside of assignments she’s been stuck with.

I can bet you she hasn’t been up in the western valleys of West Virginia or Appalachia, or North Georgia, Southern Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or anywhere outside of DC or thereabouts. She has no idea how poor white people live.

Some poor whites here in SW Pennsylvania often supplement their income by making moonshine. It is a tradition which goes back to the Whiskey Rebellion.

And though I don't condone it, it still beats the h3ll out of rioting and looting.

The author is apparently unfamiliar with trailer parks.

Interesting, and what correlation is there to the populations regarding trying to work and the amount of poverty and crime there is in these various neighborhoods?

Do Blacks go out every day trying to work or looking for better jobs as much as the Asians, Whites and Hispanics do?
Do they stay out of trouble as well as others or not?
Are they likely to depend since the Johnson administration much more so on the free rides of over paying government jobs, social programs and such?

Before welfare (which kicked men out of the home) Blacks did not like Democrats who were the KKK. Democrats were also the ones who hosed them out of public schools.

Blacks used to be Republicans with an 88% intact mother father household, then Johnson bestowed welfare on them and it all went to sh!t.
As revealed by a Johnson Presidential recording from the Oval Office, Johnson gave them welfare:
Paraphrasing Johnson basically said he gave the n!gg@rs welfare and they will vote Democrat the next 200 years in return.
This has had it's toll on all of society, but especially in the Black families first.

Thirty pieces of silver in exchange for people's souls.

instead of blaming their own community for contributing to poverty, they blame the neightbourhood. Its probably why obama is so obsessed with moving blacks to white neighborhood because they figured this would make black richer

Mind you, the author doesn't live next to a public housing project.

But she wants us to. That was the gist of the article.

Poverty is the opposite of wealth.

"Wealth" is nothing more than money that you didn't spend on Escalades, bling and hoes and invested in something instead.

People who spend every cent they can get their hands on the minute they get their hands on it will never have "wealth" no matter how much of other people's stuff you give them.

Cry me a river...

The demand that all development projects have 10% of the homes sold at a very reduced rate to low income people already has proven to be a disaster. Homes that sit side by side are taxed at highly different amounts. Creates anger in the neighborhood. Also, low income home owners are more likely to not keep up maintenance, causing devaluing of other homes.
