>>>>>In the liberal vision, slums bred crime. But brand-new government housing projects almost immediately became new centers of crime and quickly degenerated into new slums. Many of these projects later had to be demolished. Unfortunately, the assumptions behind those projects were not demolished, but live on in other disastrous programs, such as Section 8 housing.<<<<<
This is the only statement in the entire article related to housing and it does NOT mention Smart Growth or advocate Urban Sprawl anywhere!
If you look at Smart Growth today, it's not about building large pubic housing projects for low income blacks and hispanics. It's more about building middle-class housing for upper income families. Today, the average codo/coop in a "Smart Growth" neighborhood will cost over 170K! In other transit connected towns, these condos can easily exceed 300K for two bedrooms!
Unfortunatly, low income Blacks and hispanics will not be able to afford housing in "Smart Growth" communities.
Bottom line. Some of the most expensive communities in the coming furture will be those that have taken "Smart Growth" into consideration with the price of available housing in the burbs continues to skyrocket. With easy access to commuter rail and lightrail, these hot bed communities will fill up rather quickly as our highways become cloged with traffic.
