If people.don't want to have a candid discussion, it wlll never change. I lived in govt. housing, I can tell you many of the problems and SOME of these problems are injected by the "good guy" (again, noone will talk aboiut it though) as well as primarly single parent homes and a variety of other issues There is no easy solution, but the conversation must be had or no progress is possible. In China and elsewhere, people can be surprisingly blunt. We keep swaying away from the truth, be it government abuses or government housing/ghetto cycles. In East London they have generations of families "on the dole"...it is sad. Govt doesn't help, they often hinder and contriibute to the failures...
