Baltimore mayor says Trump should send federal assistance

[Pooh]

. Before that, there was the crack epidemic of the 1990s and the rise of mass incarceration and the decline of good industrial jobs in the 1980s.

What the hell is wrong with incarcerating en masse the nation's crack dealers? These are bad people, and it actually helps the community when you resect out the cancer and give the good people a chance to survive?

Then the Reagan administration should have been incarcerated. You chose to point out that one sentence, how about discussing the overall story.

You still think Michael Brown had his hands up don't you?

If Trump is so concerned about rat infested communities, why wouldn’t he send assistance?

Excellent question!

1976: Slumlord Fred Trump is arrested in Baltimore because of his code violations

It’s more than a little ironic that Donald Trump attacked Baltimore for impoverished conditions. Some of Donald Trump’s wealth (and the wealth of son-in-law Jared Kushner, too) came from owning and operating squalid housing in Maryland. In fact, the Maryland properties owned by the Trump Organization were so bad that Donald Trump’s own father was arrested in 1976 when he flew there to meet with local officials.

When the notoriously frugal Fred Trump failed to pay for repairs by that July, his housing license was revoked, preventing him from signing new leases. The blow to his pocketbook spurred him to action: Trump agreed to fly to Maryland to meet with local officials on Sept. 29, 1976.

Instead, he was arrested.

Prince George’s was cracking down on dilapidated housing complexes, but arresting an owner was unusual.

“We probably haven’t issued four arrest warrants in the past five years,” Joseph T. Healey, the county’s housing inspector supervisor, told The Post for an article about the arrest.

Fred Trump and the Trump Organization essentially stopped making repairs after white flight occurred to the suburbs and the complex became filled largely with black tenants. What does it say about the conditions of that property that Fred Trump was arrested? And by then, Donald Trump was the president of the Trump Organization. He would have been well aware of the situation in Maryland.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

When I rehabbed the ghettos here in KC I wouldn't even be out of the building before the calls to fix NEW SHIT that residents broke started coming in.
Happened on every single building. Many people don't respect what they have no vested interest in.

 

[Pooh]

Why do Black folk ALWAYS blame the white man? Don't take drugs, don't buy shit you can't pay for. Keep your dicks in your pants or turn gay, no more kids out of wedlock.

How typical.

Years of ignorant Democrat policies destroy their city, and they come begging the taxpayers to fix it for them.

Baltimore Mayor Bernard 'Jack' Young says Trump should send federal assistance rather than tweeting - CNNPolitics

If Trump is so concerned about rat infested communities, why wouldn’t he send assistance?

What happened to the first assistance sent?

 

[IM2]

The federal gov't should not be in the business of fixing local and state problems. Federal assistance may have contributed to the problem more than helping fix it, why do anything to make things better as long as the federal tax dollars keep rolling in?

Bullshit.

Fix it yourself, Black Progs caused it.

Nah, that's not what happened.

"Just a few years ago, Wells Fargo agreed to pay millions of dollars to Baltimore and its residents to settle a landmark lawsuit brought by the city claiming the bank unfairly steered minorities who wanted to own homes into subprime mortgages. Before that, there was the crack epidemic of the 1990s and the rise of mass incarceration and the decline of good industrial jobs in the 1980s.

And before that? From 1951 to 1971, 80 to 90 percent of the 25,000 families displaced in Baltimore to build new highways, schools and housing projects were black. Their neighborhoods, already disinvested and deemed dispensable, were sliced into pieces, the parks where their children played bulldozed.

And before that — now if we go way back — there was redlining, the earlier corollary to subprime lending in which banks refused to lend at all in neighborhoods that federally backed officials had identified as having "undesirable racial concentrations."

These shocks happened, at least 80 years of them, to the same communities in Baltimore, as they did in cities across the country. Neighborhoods weakened by mass incarceration were the same ones divided by highways. Families cornered into subprime loans descended from the same families who'd been denied homeownership — and the chance to build wealth — two generations earlier. People displaced today by new development come from the same communities that were scattered before in the name of "slum clearance" and the progress brought by Interstate highways.

And the really terrible irony — which brings us back to Baltimore today — is that each of these shocks further diminished the capacity of low-income urban black communities to recover from the one that came next. It's an irony, a fundamental urban inequality, created over the years by active decisions and government policies that have undermined the same people and sapped them of their ability to rebuild, that have again and again dismantled the same communities, each time making them socially, economically, and politically weaker."

"Baltimore, not at all uniquely, has experienced a century of public policy designed, consciously so, to segregate and impoverish its black population. A legacy of these policies is the rioting we have seen in Baltimore. Whether after the 1967 wave of riots that led to the Kerner Commission report, after the 1992 Los Angeles riot that followed the acquittal of police officers who beat Rodney King, or after the recent wave of confrontations and vandalism following police killings of black men, community leaders typically say, properly, that violence isn’t the answer and that after peace is restored, we can deal with the underlying problems. We never do so.

Certainly, African American citizens of Baltimore were provoked by aggressive, hostile, even murderous policing, but Spiro Agnew had it right. Without suburban integration, something barely on today’s public policy agenda, ghetto conditions will persist, giving rise to aggressive policing and the riots that inevitably ensue. Like Ferguson before it, Baltimore will not be the last such conflagration the nation needlessly experiences."

Stuff it, the subprime shit lays at the feet of Bill and Hill.Why can't you people EVER take responsibility for your own **** ups?

Again you don't know what you are talking about first off Gramm- Leech-Blilley, a republican bill is what deregulated the financial services industry. Second, this problem started before the Bill Clinton was born. Hillary was the first lady, they don't make laws. Why can't you people EVER take responsibility for your own **** ups?

One thing about Dems....

whatever they are stealing now.... they always want to

STEAL MORE

in the future....

 

[Weatherman2020]

The real issue is someone needs to be watching the Democratic politicians in Baltimore to make sure they aren't stealing the money. Trump could send 20 billion to Baltimore and unless someone watches every cent nothing will change. At the end of the day money isn't the issue, it's the Democrats running the city.

They recently got $16B and no one knows what happened to it.
