  1. Blaming racism for everything that went wrong is a cute way to avoid a nuanced discussion of disastrous "progressive" housing policies, but let us not shift blame away from those who deserve the lion's share thereof: Corrupt city leaders who allowed massive swaths of housing AND businesses to be razed to the ground, then offered their donors/cronies lucrative contracts to build hi-rise warehouses in which to stack and store low-income families with nary a nearby trace of shops, services, or gainful employment. Let's house 5,000 poor people in a four block area without a single job in sight - what could possibly go wrong?
