You have no idea how they were created. They were created by the people living in them and policies since the 1960's that paid for the unfit to increase their unfit population.

Ghetto comes from Jews being persecuted in areas of Venice.

Thanks for playing.

American ghettos come from polices of liberals and Jews. You're welcome.

The bottom line is : Don't be a renter or buy in a place with rentals. Don't buy near a mass transit stop.

Let the renting Millenials deal with and pay for their new ghettos.

Not true, all American presidents from FDR forward, including Eisenhower supported and helped implement "urban renewal" from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Concentration of poverty, especially in regards to black Americans and public housing and "ghetto" neighborhoods are a direct relation to the fact that these initiatives destroyed commercial districts in black areas and also because black people were not allowed to obtain FHA backed mortgages or traditional mortgages and were forced to pay more to live in specific (red-lined) portions of major urban areas due to FHA preferring to sell only to white people after WW2. Even those blacks with money could not move outside of the redlined neighborhoods due to systematic racism. Black veterans who fought in both WW2 and Korea couldn't even use the FHA to obtain a traditional mortgage in most cases and it had nothing to do with employment or credit. White supremacy ideology coupled with fradulent contract buying schemes and white flight created today's "ghettos." Urban revitalization and the creation of the highway system destroyed traditional black business districts (and other minorities, including ethnic whites along with Jews) as it required people to move due to imminent domain. Public housing requirements of families were lowered as well starting in the 1950s through the 1980s which allowed the poorest people who had the most social problems to reside in those units. In the 1930s and 1940s public housing residents were usually "the best of the best" working class families and had very high standards for housekeeping and financial management.

I agree with you that government policy is to blame, but to put it all on "liberals and Jews" is a lie.

Well, I've written 900 things on this website, which is sad enough. You seem to spend most of your life on here, and it shows in your detachment from reality.
But yes, I'm wrong and full of nonsense. Middle-class suburbanites are dying to have poor people from the hood moved into their neighborhoods. In fact, I can't imagine why they moved to ever-remote suburbs in the first place, since what they really want is to live amongst the "fair housing" set. How could I ever have thought otherwise?

You know, just to be safe, you should probably isolate yourself--by at least a mile--from any other human habitation. You just never know when that property owner might decide to move away and rent to Section 8 tenants. Maybe 1 mile isn't enough?

HUD actually started doing this in order to replicate what goes on in the private market in relation to quantitative data analysis.

What is a "social justice agitator?" LOL.

If anything, people on both the left (who I am assuming you feel are these agitators) and on the right can use this data to prove certain claims based upon what they are looking for like people can do with all statistical data.

Data analysis has become a part of every government agency and every reputable business. One must track data in order to be able to prove or disprove whether or not something is effective on ineffective.

And FWIW, GOP majority congresses have used HUD's data to lower funding to HUD in recent years due to the fact that there have been many gains in deconcentration of poverty and Congress has sought to close public housing. Administering and operation public housing developments (aka "the projects") receives the largest portion of money used by HUD and Congress has decreased this line item substantially and supported HUD initiatives like HCV (formerly Section 8), mixed income/mixed use (what you are complaining about) housing locations utilizing vouchers (HCV). HUD's budget has shrunk substantially in the past 10-20 years as a result.
