As a result, City ordnances were redraft, a housing court established, enforcement became a priority, and a community outreach was established. This video is in the Public Domain.

    The only thing that could be accomplished was getting rid of the out houses in the alleys. Generations of slum lord families still own the slums and occasionally pay fines to a corrupt City Hall. Nothing changes but the money keeps circulating. Slum lords and City Hall got a good thing going for them. I was told privately by an official at City Hall that he and his colleagues enjoy "living the country club life." They wouldn't change a thing, and all they have to pay is lip service.

    It’s interesting that finances for repairs fell into the hands of tenants when originally the slumlords were the ones challenged in court to respond to violations. Why didn’t they either collect from the slumlords or from the city? Why loans, when occupants weren’t responsible for damages in the first place ?

    It’s still true today as it was back then. You CANNOT give someone out of poverty. You can only give someone an opportunity to do it themselves. This country is so stupid it’s unreal. We’ve known for millennia that some people are just more responsible than others. I don’t care if you give everyone $10,000,000 each, within a few years many will be back in poverty. It’s not even a question of equal treatment, it’s a question of variability. No matter what you do, some people will be poor. THAT IS A FACT!!! All these programs do is make people dependent on the government. Then they have the nerve to call it “The Independence card”. Has there ever been a bigger oxymoron.

    Poverty was indeed a problem then. Caused a lot of blight. The problems now are mainly due to drugs like crack cocaine and gang activity. And welfare in the 60’s which took the fathers out of the homes and allowed people to become lazier and not have any incentive to ownership.

    Good liberal propaganda film. How did it work out? I was talking with some black VA coworkers from the Bmore suburbs the other day about HUD forcing people from the inner city on the middle class areas to majority white neighborhoods. I had assumed they would be for it. One guy said his family had moved to the suburbs in the sixties to get away from the crime and would move further out if "they" ruined his neighborhood. The other guy was from Kenya and said he wanted to "shoot those n*" who were taking over the playground after school. He said he had to take his daughter to the hospital because some teens had pushed her off the jungle gym and recorded it on their iphones. I jokingly called him a racist. He said because I was mixed I did not "know about n*s." Only in America.
