It is less silly, but also misses the point, to assume warehouse ghettos were sincere attempts to improve the lot of anyone. There have been moments, and the history of different efforts is varied, but most of these efforts were to ghettoize and sequester minorities, not improve conditions.
It amazes me the extent to which The Wire has become something from which people argue policy. I feel like a significant percentage of people's arguments come from fiction.
