It will be interesting to see what our Secy' of Housing and Urban Development decides to do....I still think Dr. Ben should have logically been the Surgeon General. 
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

There was a documentary several years ago (on PBS, I think)
where they showed a welfare housing project in SE Virginia.

At first, it looked like a typical government housing project -
stark, neglected, high crime, etc.

Then they split up the outdoors into "front yards"
for each of the townhouses
by enclosing each "yard" with a picket fence.

Crime went down steeply.
Each yard looked like a "defensible space"
that deterred criminals from violating that space.

Previously, all of the outdoors area had been
one big common space where criminals roamed freely.

Plus, many of the residents planted flowers
and installed other decorations,
personalizing their own space.

The environment improved so dramatically,
many people came in and asked where the rental office was,
because they couldn't even tell that it was a welfare project!
Here are the 10 RINOs who voted to impeach Trump on Jan. 13, 2021 - NEVER forget!
WY  Liz Cheney      SC 7  Tom Rice             WA 4  Dan Newhouse    IL 16  Adam Kinzinger    OH 16  Anthony Gonzalez
MI 6  Fred Upton    WA 3  Jaime Herrera Beutler    MI 3  Peter Meijer       NY 24  John Katko       CA 21  David Valadao

Not all "housing" projects go as planned.  I've lost count how many times they tried to revive Detroit and its still a shi* hole.  Now those same neighborhoods are filled with Muslims with prayer rugs in hand as you can hear them being called to worship.

Detroit's problems stem from decades of corrupt DemonRat rule combined with unions driving workers jobs out of the city.
