Should public housing be run by the government?

I would have to say yes. Now far be it from me to want to put anything into the hands of the government,the way they are now, after all its such a mess already. The fact is though who else is going to do it? You might say well the government is so corrupt and that it is. Who is it that makes that possible? Privet businesses. Big corporations. Unions. They lobby, they make the bribes, they give big benefits, they give gifts. Without them paying off the government to vote in their favor on this bill or that you would have a lot less corruption.

But on to the problem at hand. Say we say no to government public housing who do we turn to. Do we turn to Joe Blow down the street who is about to have his house foreclosed on? I don't think so. Do we turn to the middle class who can barely keep their heads above water as it is? Again I don't think so. So that leaves us two basic choices the super rich who bribe and twist and turn the governments heads to work laws and taxes and payout in their favor or the government who graciously accepts the bribes and gifts and what not offered to get the rich richer and make the poor poorer.

If we turned it over to privet sources they would bypass the government but the same kind of things would be going on. Privet organizations simple do not have to power to secure the area when problems break out. It falls back to people out of control. There is a drug problem because no one is there to control the drug problem. Put a cop on every corner and there will be one less drug dealer on that corner. Watch the going out and coming in of people and stop them and ask questions and get involved and you might just save one more child from becoming a junkie. One thing is for sure they will not be coming in the house with a pound of pot if they know a cop could a very most likely will be there to meet him coming in asking how his day has gone, what he's been up too, did he see the braves game, etc... etc.. etc..

When Parents, community, and police all get involved and do not give a chance for crime to happen it will kind of throw a spoke in the wheels and crime will not turn near as fast as it use to. With proper education and guidance and hope for a better future for themselves and their families people will turn from drugs. Young people that live that "ghetto" life see how bad life is and their uneducated and undeveloped minds give up on any thing in life further away than the next joint or the next
