Is Urban Renewal an illustration of the reality of socialism?

Before urban renewal, low income families in cities often lived in tenement slums. They had to pay rent to absentee slumlords, sometimes living without heat, electricity, or even running water.

With urban renewal, the government seized the tenement buildings and demolished them, then they replaced them with modern public housing projects, up to modern housing standards.

The low income families moved in, and the low income housing projects became high crime areas. And most of the crime was committed by the residents or their guests.

Is this the reality of what happens to the government promise of free public housing and free income on welfare for life?

Is this the real outcome of socialism in the USA?

That is exactly right. Not only is there major crimes but those newly constructed buildings now are in the same condition as the ones demolished. If you work for nothing own nothing you take care of nothing.

  5. In most cities the large housing projects were built to provide housing for the growing Black population so they would not move into previously all white neighborhoods. They were a product of racism not socialism and they bore bitter fruit as racism usually does. Many of them are now being demolished.
