I"m sure plenty have jobs - and why make it even harder for them to look for work by shoving them out into the suburbs - or is it more a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'?
Some work sure, but many are generational in the projects.
The area is desirable to those who want to live near work (agenda 21), when people pay their own way then they get to make their own decisions.
If you own the house and don't want it torn down to build a condo, then don't sell it. If it isn't your house, then it's not your business what the owner does with it. If the government is tearing it down with eminent domain, then it has nothing to do with you being poor as that can target anybody.
Maybe go rent or buy a house? With their own money?
Foreign thought for the left, I know. But, believe it or not, its actually OK for somebody that was previously on welfare to do something for themselves.
Certain people treat them like they're stupid or worthless, encourage them to pass the welfare mentality to their kids, all so they can get votes.
You're the perfect example. Bawling all day about a kid riding his bike.
I'm betting if that was a military family in that situation, you'd be screeching that they should never have had kids in the first place.
You must hate kids, because you're trying to wreck society and whatever future we can give them.
Its OK for people to work for themselves, really. Happens all the time. You should try it.

Then I guess they need to work more. Why should I subsidize their lifestyle with my money? You haven't given an explanation for that.
If you FORCE people to work and fend for themselves, they will. Give them everything they want and there is no incentive for them to do anything. Why should they work to get themselves out of a situation? Everything is provided for them.

so how about the govt targets luxury apartments instead - tears them down to make way for a new municipal building.
the individual apt. owners do not actually own the whole building.
I imagine there would be one hell of a fuss if the govt. tried doing this, because we all know that the more money you have, the more 'leeway' you have with the law.
how about for those who pay the rent (and also work) in their project houses/apts?
why should they be turfed out to make way for those that can afford higher rents?
or is it a different set of laws depending on how much you earn - sounds like it to me
When they own the house the get to make the decisions. If the government owns the house, it gets to make the decision. You are forgetting the golden rule.

this is not democracy.
Plenty of times higher end properties get eminent domain. But the government has to pay out FMV, so it is cheaper for the tax payers for the government to build in lower income areas (because the property is worth less).
Nevertheless, if your on the dole you don't get the perks of ownership.
no, you get shoved out into the wasteland like a third rate citizen.
is that right?
