Don’t know if it’s a case of good intentions gone awry, or a genuine motive of greed and the sort of crony capitalism we still see in force, but I think it’s true that a “poor” neighborhood is not especially a bad neighborhood.

This neighborhood seemed really healthy in its sense of community, and it seemed to have lots of intact and happy families. Two things our nation sorely needs. Via Reason TV and Hot Air.
