I don't think too many people were offended by having to use the 'poor door' considering there were 88,000 application for 55 rental units. [0] I'm afraid when you do away with market forces, you allow for old biases and prejudices, truly the worst of humanity. An idea of a 'poor door' is truly distasteful and inappropriate. As Milton Friedman argued in Capitalism and Freedom: > It is a striking historical fact that the development of capitalism has been accompanied by a major reduction in the extent to which particular religious, racial, or social groups have operated under special handicaps in respect of their economic activities; have, as the saying goes, been discriminated against. We have already seen how a free market separates economic efficiency from irrelevant characteristics. As noted in chapter i, the purchaser of bread does not know whether it was made from wheat grown by a white man or a Negro, by a Christian or a Jew. In consequence, the producer of wheat is in a position to use resources as effectively as he can, regardless of what the attitudes of the community may be toward the color, the religion, or other characteristics of the people he hires.
