Is This Guy Serious!- This is a Prime Example of Why We are Advocates!
According to Howard Hudsock from City Journal, " Housing projects radiate dysfunction and social problems outward, damaging local businesses and neighborhood property values. They hurt cities by inhibiting or even preventing these rundown areas from coming back to life by attracting higher income homesteaders and new business investment. Making matters worse, for decades cities have zoned whole areas to be public housing forever , shutting out in perpetuity the constant recycling of property that helps dynamic cities generate new wealth and opportunity for rich and poor alike".
In this article, Hudsock explains why public housing is harmful to society and contributes to social problems. His view of public housing is that it takes all the negative people in society such as welfare- dependent single-parent families " whose fatherless children disproportionately turn out to be school drop outs, drug users, non- workers, and criminals" ("Hudsock", 2003). Some of this may be true but what he says is not true for the majority of people to which he is referring to. Hudsock thinks that public housing is a s equally economically damaging as it is socially.
