It sarted in 1941 when the goo goos from D.C. forced Detroit to build massive housing project for Negroes in a huge Polish Parish St. Louis something. Riots sarted and eventually a mass migration of whiteys to the sterile burbs started and never stopped. The do gooders wanted the Poles to bolt because they wanted to get housing for the thousands of sharecroppers who moved to work in the war industries. Riots started and whitey was blamed. Similar pattern here at South Deering, Visitation, Airport Homes Fernwood etc. Whitey fought back and the do gooders from U of C kept at it and their last effort was something called Organization of the Southwest Communities was started by Alinsky after he duped Catholic clergy. Folks from Sabina and Kilians might remember. They got the Economist to cover this nonsense cause the publisher a buddy of Alinsky. From 67th North to city limits south and Lake East to city line West pretty much shot by 1975. Daley ordered all the city workers back and that helped our neck of the woods. Detroit and da soutside would be pretty much like Bridgeport today if the social engineers led by con artists and leftys would have left well enough alone. So now our pals in the burbs are bored silly hugging their grills and watching 500 cable channels
It was always my understanding that public housing was initiated because of a housing shortage and to accommodate returning WWII veterans. It was never intended to serve as permanent life long housing but rather transitional housing. Best laid plans had it evolved into the high rise sewer it became. This combined with the massive entitlement programs that skyrocketed under Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" caused the multi-generational sense of entitlement we still have today.
take it easy Nicole Curtis is going to make it all go away,have you not seen her DIY tv show???
