How is it going to help?

  Slums are a result of factors such as emargination, lack of services, crime and poverty. All factors that are lacking in wealthy hoods. Police actually cares about safety and order when wealthy citizens are at stake.

    I don't see how being poor forces people to throw garbage in the streets and pee in the streets. One thing I can tell after living outside of the USA for some time, is that a couple of unemployed drug addicts can turn an otherwise neat and tidy house into a shithole. And that was a country with a free medical care. Including addiction treatment.

Thanks for showing us your very progressive view of the poor. Drug addicts need help and that has nothing to do with housing, same goes for people with mental health issues.

    > lack of services In San Francisco, where I live, all of the “services” (i.e., food banks, check cashing services, shelters, soup kitchens, even the DMV) are in the poor neighborhoods (the Mission). You can’t find any of those services in rich neighborhoods (Noe/Cole Valley). So, maybe we should keep building affordable housing in poor neighborhoods instead?

      I'm talking about having access to good schools, good law enforcement, clean environment, etc. You know, the same quality services people like you receive, as the poor are nothing else but people like you.
