While there are affordable housing developments that are not properly maintained, nor are tenants properly screened, that is by and large nonexistent in today's development of affordable housing. Given the current resources for creating affordable housing - primarily the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (allocated by WHEDA) developers are required to adhere to many criteria of quality. <BR/><BR/>I challenge "colt" and any others that share his belief to find a WHEDA tax credit property built within the last decade and tell me that it "ruins the neighborhood" or "brings high crime". I guarantee you won't find one. And further, you'll probably wish you lived there yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-53692003859856772812008-12-15T16:47:00.000-06:002008-12-15T16:47:00.000-06:00The officials whom I referred to, and the planners...The officials whom I referred to, and the planners Ms. Schneider-Peragine mentioned, specifically said black people.James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-158638051159032122008-12-15T16:03:00.000-06:002008-12-15T16:03:00.000-06:00They being the people living in the low income hou...They being the people living in the low income housing. <BR/>Them being the housing projects or the neighborhoods where you have clusters. <BR/>Low income housing projects and slum lords kill neighborhoods <BR/>dead neighborhoods kill citiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-3301147107710615202008-12-15T14:38:00.000-06:002008-12-15T14:38:00.000-06:00Who are "they" and "them," exactly?Who are "they" and "them," exactly?James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-84375608507095178812008-12-15T09:32:00.000-06:002008-12-15T09:32:00.000-06:00" affordable housing would not be permitted in the..." affordable housing would not be permitted in their communities because elected officials in Waukesha County equate affordable housing with African-American occupants"<BR/><BR/>Sir <BR/><BR/>Come to Racine where I live see the affordable housing see the ruin they bring to neighborhoods, the high crime then tell the lie you would live next to them. <BR/><BR/>I can not blame Waukesha County for not wanting themAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
