I'm in Canada, I live in New Westminster - the zoning policies that happened in the US never happened up here so there are a few bad neighborhoods, but people are people, crime happens everywhere. I'm just happy the chances I'll die from a gunshot wound dropped suddenly when I emigrated from the states.
I will never apologize for not wanting me kids to deal with what I had to deal with. There are bad neighborhoods, and it is wrong that the government is taking people and dumping them in our communities.
I don't hate these people, I don't blame them for their plight. But they are still more likely to be dangerous.
Would you drop your kids off at a daycare center in a prison, or a drug rehab clinic? Most of the people are probably still good, but a larger proportion of them will be dangerous.
Really, so if a bunch of people in wealthy suburbs and people in public housing switched geographical locations, then their behavior would change? I hope you can see how ludicrous that is. Is their something in the air perhaps, that makes people in Bed-Stuy or South-Central Los Angeles more violent?
You are putting the cart before the horse. It is the other way around.
And so, you can put these people in wealthy suburbs, but it won't actually transform them into the residents of those suburbs.
