[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alexandria City does the mixed use housing with mixed results.  The presence of public housing units does keep prices lower in the market rate properties compared to similar properties without public housing units.

Unfortunately, it is the reality of the new economy that people cannot earn enough to provide housing for themselves, particularly when they have children they cannot afford to raise.   The government must step in to provide shelter or the related social,problems will only grow worse

Those who benefit from the economy are subsidizing those who do not.  It is very simple and a reality that will never be changed.

Yep.

Decades and decades of segregated housing and ignoring the plight of lie income African Americans in DC has yielded a crisis. Truly.

Fortunately, Mayor Bowser gets it and is attempting to fix the problem.

DC wasn't "segregated" - it was overwhelmingly majority AA and AA run.  Gentrification didn't cause the problems - they were already there.  Whites suddenly became a convenient excuse and scapegoat for decades of pre-existing problems.[/quote]
