Don't get sensitive. As a generalization, his argument is accurate. The majority of neighborhoods with subsidized housing are undesirable and the people who live there do not do so by choice.

This is because of the correlates of poverty such as unemployment that are pervasive in these neighborhoods. Subsidized areas with more working poor than unemployed poor suffer from other correlates of poverty such as poor schooling and crime.
