"Five public housing developments were located mainly in Goldsboro, Florida's second oldest city chartered by African-Americans, after Eatonville, when it was founded in 1891 (and the nation's third) -- until all-white Sanford stripped the city of its charter and absorbed it in 1911. A sixth housing project was in Georgetown, older than Sanford by 14 years, but which was also drafted into the city in the early 20th century. The spare, one-story buildings were spread out across seemingly endless acres in the predominantly black areas, located across the railroad tracks from Sanford proper".
i see this same thing happening here in DC. closings and destruction of public housing to make way for middle class housing. these people are then forced into MD suburbs over crowding those counties and dropping property values down because they have to take into account these people are poor and mostly on public assistance. so they are just moving the low rent housing to MD. wonder how MD feels about that? poor people on public assistance have for years been stigmatized, preyed on by unscrupulous merchants, they will sell them goods like tv or computer's for low down payment that comes with monthly payments that extend twice the price of the purchase, taking advantage of their lack of jobs, money and credit so they penalize for their circumstance to some fat cat merchant. i remember don't know if they still do it but would send these fearless little Jewish guys out to their homes considered as "bad neighborhoods" on the 1st of the month to cash their checks and assure payment. please click title
