These are the reasons to hate the bourgeoisie human services department. They are absolutely out of touch with the working people of this country. I hate people with I have to kiss your ass attitude when it comes to doing something for human fucking kind.

make that 30,001.

My housing in Hawaii is being turned into a vacation unit, so now I'm facing the prospect of not being able to go there, yet I can't afford rent there (or here) so I am going to have to apply for public housing now... ><

EDIT: didn't see it was in Atlanta. regardless, I'm applying for public housing.

It really makes me shake my head and laugh, especially on this board, when I read that people judge freedom by having a choice of over 100 brands of food on a shelf.

"Being free" should be judged by, are you free from the specter of hunger, no medical care, and homelessness. Do you have a say in how the land, wealth and resourses are utillized.

Public housing is good, there should only be public housing. It's too bad it's of such a low quality in the United States and seems to have such a negative stigma surrounding it.

Uhm, what?

They're not complaining about not enough Mickey D's, dude. They're complaining about the lack of housing. Don't be a dick.

Move to Ireland, we've got loads of empty housing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_estate). Hooray for capitalism

If you would bother asking people, the precious working class,what their definition of freedom is, that is what they will tell you. They do not say being free from homelessness, being free from hunger, free access to medical care. They, the precious workers, base freedom on the amount of choices they have in the supermarket.Hey, don't attack the messenger.

And how would you know, perhaps?

Here in Philly there is a 3 year waiting list for sec 8 housing. Then you have the problem of the people in the community, the precious workers whom are homeowners, who, if they find out, can, and have, passed around a petition to stop you from turning your appartment into sec 8 housing for low income people.

Why you ask? Well, I posed the same question to the people against sec 8 housing. The precious working class said to me, about poor people in sec 8 housing, "they are filthy, and they don't care about where they live or how they live. The take drugs, they don't work". Yeah, they are my heroes, the working class.

How is public housing like in the US? How many square feet, in what kind of neighbourhoods etc?

I've seen rents around 1000$ for a smallish/normal appartment in an ok neighbourhood in some of the biggest cities. Is that the rule?

Because i've asked people, and watched "on the street interviews". Let me tell you this, I do not need to make ANYTHING up. The oh so precious working class provides me with all the evidence I need to show how they fight against their own interests, how they attack, and backstab members of their own class. HELL, they don't even see themselves as a class.

I'm not sure about sizes, but they tend to be very poorly maintained and located in what would be considered "slums". Most of the public housing stock is old and years of mismanagement and neglect has left it in a terrible state, a contributing factor to this is the low amount of it that exists at all.

New York City probably has the best public housing in the United States, and a lot of it are in pretty nice housing estates built in the 1950's and early 60's, although obviously maintenance and so on have been very poor ever since they were built even there, leaving many of them in dire need of renovation. Another reason contributing to the fact that New York City's housing stock is somewhat less awful than most public housing in the U.S. is that it is the most extensive, I think it has upwards 250,000 flats and house 8% of the population; the larger the public housing authority, the less likely it is to be a simply holding space for disenfranchised minority communities, which is what it is in most of the United States.

Chicago a few years ago embarked on a large project demolishing a lot of public housing estates they deemed undesirable in order to redevelop the areas into "mixed income neighbourhoods" with "part market rents", particularly those estates located near areas that has seen "gentrification" rubbish.

I think there have even been political attempts to make the public housing intentionally bad just to make sure less people live in it.
