[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]G'burg council approved plan for development at site of Lake Forest Mall with some "affordable" housing. What will happen to this area with more housing? Will crime go down? [/quote] Crime goes down when more people have legitimate options for a life relatively free of desperation. Stable affordable/attainable housing can be a part of expanding those options, but would need to be part of a more holistic solution set, including food security, employment, education and healthcare. This doesn't mean the housing needs to be a particular type or in particular locations (the great debate in the current moment), but sufficiency of the one and accessibility of the other (either current or coincident with housing availability) to those items in the set of needs would be necessary.[/quote]
