Getting people "out of project" is a bunch of b.s.; that's where they belong if they're not willing to work for a living. 30 years ago, I lived in a middle class neighborhood, where everyone worked, with the exception of those who had retired. The homes, although older, were all well maintained, the yards were well kept, and it was a nice, quiet area. As the retirees died off, newlyweds would look at the homes and, because most of them didn't have granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, swimming pools, or outdoor kitchens, the working newlyweds wouldn't buy them. The houses sat empty, until they went up for taxes, then the Title 8 slumlords scooped them up. They used taxpayers money to chop them into multifamily welfare money-makers, just barely bringing them "into duplex code". Initially, most of the homes were somewhat decent, but the new owners will only rent to welfare rats, (NYS sends them the rent money directly), who soon destroy the properties. The windows wind up broken, porches, cellars, driveways, yards, the house themselves soon become filled garbage. The yards either become overgrown weed patches, or muddy, rutted "parking lots." During the summer they party until 2:00 - 4:00 A.M., play loud music, race up and down the street in unregistered vehicles, do "burnouts" on their motorcycles, and generally ruin everyone's lives. I even had two families show up at my house one Sunday afternoon wanting to know if they could swim in my pool. (Hell, no.) Right now, my property value is $68,500, before the Title 8 scum moved in it was almost $90,000. Our neighborhood was never a "plush" area; but it was never an area of scum bags, welfare rats, and drug dealers; but it is now, and that's entirely the fault of the government, and their bright ideas of moving people out of projects. So, the govern-ment spoon feeds welfare scum from the polar opposites of the socioeconomic scale, and the welfare scum robs the working, taxpaying public for everything they can get; and to think, it all started with a certain political party and their "great society dream.".
This is how a neighborhood deteriorates?

Pay one of said scum to burn your house down while you're outta town. Collect insurance money and get the hell outta that neighborhood. I would have been gone at the first sign of that ish.
Yup he has a point. They closed down a ton of projects in Chicago over the last decade. Now those rats scatter and move from town to town using up the good will and supplies of the new host community. It becomes everyone's problem.
Slum Landlords are not in the suburban subdivisions
where you see $200,000 homes and above.
Slum Landlords get rich on decaying urban and
intercity property. They buy old homes for almost
nothing and then make good money on then as
rentals. City codes often are lax on lawn upkeep
and house repairs.

That's not really what this story is about. Though I can tell you for a fact that my ex-wife lives in Newport Beach in a "middle class" neighborhood and some jackass bought the house across from hers and is renting it out. It's occupied mainly by college kids (a dozen or more) and they do nothing but cause problems for their neighbors. They urinate in public. Loud 24/7. Cars everywhere. Sex everywhere. Basically a defacto fraternity. The neighbors have banded together to sue the city council and the "slum lord" claiming code is being violated. It turns out the homeowner in fact owns dozens of homes like these thruout LA/Orange County.
HRiscool, your ex-wife called and said that she is now
going to sell her house to that slum lord. He will make
her home into a half-way house for those with a sex
addiction. It will be accredited by the state.
Bottom Line: Your ex-wife wants to start over in
Minnesota and the good life in the Midwest.
