[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some would say that concentrating the middle-class in DC is not doing them any favors, either, given the bad schools in DC and the apparent inability to improve them, despite huge reform efforts.

[b]Perhaps you didn't know that poor people came to DC of their own free will and like it here[/b] and do not wish to be "concentrated" elsewhere to make room for middle class families eager to move into a convenient urban environment.

It's fascinating how you can make it sound reasonable for them to move out, so you can move in.[/quote]

Sure, DC historically had welfare for life.  A place where you can go and not have to work.  A magnet for lazy folks, just let everyone else carry your dead weight.  But, that's a function of policy - and fortunately, policy can (and likely will) change.[/quote]

So, when the poor black people are forced out of DC because of policy changes that deny welfare, will there be some form of sustenance for them in the suburbs where they are reconcentrated, or will they just be left to starve to death while their former homes are taken over by gentrifiers?[/quote]

How about just GETTING A JOB and PROVIDING YOUR OWN DAMN SUSTENANCE like the rest of us normal folks have to do each and every day?[/quote]
