We all know that the problem has been around for a long time but it is *awfully* hard to pretend like you didn't know about it (which many legislators conveniently do) when Oprah is showcasing it.

I hear what you are saying SC, but it is moot now since this was a hoax. In any case, there have been many such public media forays into public housing over the years. 60 Minutes anb other newsmag shows have done this. After the initial sensation it all dies down because no money is forthcoming.
The issue is systemic, and unless we hold our legislators and politicians accountable, nothing will happen.
