do you think the horror stories about section 8 housing in “safer” communities are the norm or an extremely small amount
There is a wrong way and right way to do it. Just creating a new ghetto in the middle of another community solves nothing.
The problem is the concentration of lower income housing. putting them all in one area is the issue
The correct way is to dilute the lower income housing and disperse them in small numbers amongst a community.
Meaning a duplex here in this part of town, another duplex there in that part of town ext ext. two lower incomes families living in a higher income neighborhood isn't going to lead to increased crime in that area.
constructing a 500 unit lower income highrise in that higher income area can though.
you need to sprinkle it in amongst everything not concentrate it in one area
