[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it crazy to accommodate so many in DC, why can't federal government give them incentives to go to areas where cost of living is low and entry level jobs in abundance?[/quote]

Or repopulate dying towns.

It's way too complex and nuanced a subject for DCUM but the lack of population mobility - for which there are sometimes good reasons - is one of the problems we face as a country.

We should also build low income housing directly instead of using section 8. Section 8 just ends up increasing rents.  Can't we take what we've learned from the problems with "projects"  and section 8 and try something new.  Some sort of middle ground where we build it but create a process to transfer ownership to the tenants over time.[/quote]

Yes dust off the failed 1960’s policies. [/quote]
Should we continue with the failed 1980's policies?  Or go back to failed 1930's policies?

They've all failed. We need to take the parts of each policy that worked and remix them into something new.[/quote]
