No, what I have a problem with is people who get banned from forums and feel the need to come back under new usernames simply for the purpose of trying to start some sort of political debate. Like I said before, get a life.

I live in a really great neighborhood, by the way. I'm willing to bet it's a lot nicer than yours.

If you live in a great neighborhood then it probably is not subsidized. Like I said, subsidized housing destroys neighborhoods.

I actually live in a great neighborhood with subsidized housing. So your argument falls kind of flat.

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.

I agree with you in this. but that is more a case of certain areas not having enough resources allocated to them. What max is saying is that these areas are bad just because they are inhabited by poor black people. It really boils down to cities choosing to focus their resources for things such as public safety and education into the more affluent neighborhoods.

Once again, you all are being hoodwinked and bamboozled by madmax.

If you agree with me then you agree with madmax's central point. Simple and plain.

What neighborhood? One example does not defeat my arguement. I can list dozens of neighborhoods that are ghettos. I can even list entire cities. Anyone here from NJ? The entire city of Camden is a ghetto.

People aren't up in arms about his central point, though, and you know it.

You aren't anymore. LOL. But, you either disagreed with the central point before or didn't know what the central point was because you were busy with madmax.

No...I agreed with the central point from the get-go. I started playing around when madmax starting spouting BS.

It's not just subsidized housing. I think it's anywhere, where the rent is dirt cheap. Subsidized or not is going to attract hood rats and trailer trash, as long as the rent is cheap. Poor people bitch a lot and complain about how fucked up shit is in the areas they live in, when they're the ones fucking it up. What separates rich people from poor people is rich people do what poor people won't do, because they're too fucking lazy. I don't give a shit what race it is. A poor douche is a poor douche and they're going to fuck up a neighborhood regardless of their race.

I know a chick who lived on a fucking school bus. It was her and her trailer trash piece of shit family who lived in it. I didn't believe her at first, but she showed me pictures. It was unbelievable. They took the seats out and put beds in there and walls. They actually had bedrooms dude, I kid you not. Race doesn't matter. A piece of shit is a piece of shit.
