@Ashley: Thanks for chiming in. I agree the housing situations around most of our major cities is horrible. I lived in Nashville and saw a giant high rise condominium being built across the street from a major public housing development. You can be sure the people with the money to build that high rise have the power to make sure that housing development disappears.

This new housing is outrageous. We are just creating poverty instead of getting rid of it. This to me is in injustice not only to the people in chicago but to millions of people around the world.There might not be a definite answer to the problem right now but there is always a better answer than being homeless.

I lived next to Cabrini Green for four years while at college and saw the start of this process. There are never easy answers in a case like this. I can’t imagine really waht life in Cabrini was like. As a nearby resident, I knew that life there was, to put it mildly, very hard and these projects needed to be cleared out for a fresh start. Certainly the current results are less than they could be as a good number, from what I understand, were just shuffled off to other housing projects.
