I'm not saying it's a trend, but you asked for an example where hud housing works and where it hasn't brought down a neighborhood, I responded.

And, the New Orleans circumstance was a sad story with people turned out of their homes because of Katrina. The issue was that the Houston residents of the HUD housing refused to be drawn into "turf wars" with certain Katrina folks. The Katrina people who didn't want to stay in the area left, but many New Orleans people have stayed and become productive members of the community.

Integration can work, it isn't always a failure. (and the people from New Orleans who decided to stay figured that out) Period.
