You're so silly.

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.

Wow! Thanks, that's really nice, and I appreciate it!

(Just guys, I'm totally outnumbered, that's why I appreciate my new daughter-in-law so much! I'm starting to even out the numbers. )

lovespink LOL at your location - Live-in and I had an argument yesterday as to whether Champaign or Urbana was the "home" location of U of I - I insisted that it was both - he said it wasn't even there.

I think this thread makes me random.

Haha, that's funny! The school is technically located in Urbana, as that's where the main administrative buildings are, as well as the overwhelming majority of academics buildings. But Memorial Stadium, Assembly Hall and all the "fun places" are in Champaign!

You do the math. There are 650 fulltime cops in the schools. There are only 42 high schools in the whole city.

I speak the truth.

Now if only the mods can get to this one as quick as they get to Xanthus.

I did the math.

School District for the city of Philadelphia.

45 high schools
5 vocational/tech schools
39 middle schools

total schools: 89

police officers: 650

650/89=7.3 (and some left over numbers)

The article you site says there are 650 police officers in the district, not the just the high schools. Officers are spread out doing different jobs, including positions at elementary school. You still haven't defended your original claim of a dozen HIGH SCHOOLs having 14-15 fulltime officers.

LOL @ folks really arguing with MM...

Come on people, let's get with the program. I don't even need to see stats to know what I've been reading is the truth. I'm seeing a lot of self-denial.
