Obviously you've never been in the poor areas of South baton rouge. The run down part where most minorities actually live...where the crime rate is high and the part Lil boosie raps about. Those houses are typically below 100k.

Poor ppl move much more frequently chasing lower rent. This program is trying to allow poorer communities the opportunity to escape that by placing them in homes permanently. This would then bring a sense of stability where the kids wouldn't be transferring schools every other year as well as bring a sense of community rather than the "hey frick this place I'll be gone within a year anyway" attitude that comes with that way of living.

But again, keep hating the poor. It's strong on the board.
