[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the SWS thread is openly racist as well. Only the posters think no one gets their code. [/quote] I guess it's fun to call everyone a racist without actually thinking about the issues, but the SWS threads (and others) bring up the real point -- poverty. Poverty is not good, and it's not something that we as a society should encourage or reward. Good neighborhoods are important, and part of what makes a neighborhood good is its schools. If we really want to address poverty, inclusionary zoning is one way (among others) to do that. But the whole linchpin of IZ is the concept of "good neighborhoods" and diluting poverty by engendering real socioeconomic diversity. If we can't (as all the people howling "racist!" seem to suggest) even maintain neighborhood schools for neighborhood kids, how can we have any success diluting poverty? [/quote]
