[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, but why punish the many who benefit from it by pausing or stopping the entire program?? Oh right, because any excuse to maintain exclusivity in this area is sought after and embraced quickly.[/quote]

The Washington Post has documented multiple times these programs bring a large increase in crimes. People have listed numerous violent crimes in this area in just the past month that would have been considered shocking a decade ago. If you know anyone who lives in these buildings, you'll know how people are living because violent criminals are assaulting long-time residents.

When you pretend that this is simply about "exclusivity," you're demonstrating you don't care about the issue at all. You're also demonstrating your ignorance of the area - these apartments were never exclusive, and until the city started filling them with violent criminals they were a way for people who earned less income to live in areas that were otherwise unaffordable.[/quote]
