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.
