Housing projects for the poor and oppressed are ghettos from day one,  and none who live there are invested in the home or its  upkeep or the upkeep of the area.  Cabrini Green in Chicago was the classic.  Grand apartments that soon became crime traps for victim residents.  They finally razed them.  Detroit razed itself,  but had help from a city government,  most of the leaders ending up in prison for taking bribes,  diverting city money to private accounts:  mayor,  city council including the wife of Rep John Conyers,  the longest serving member of the US House of Representatives, police chief,  school superintendent.  Self inflicted wounds killed Detroit.  All Democrat government for 40 years.  Oregon is headed there.
