I'm kind of a stickler for trying to get the facts before forming an opinion.

I heard a story on NPR about security in public housing. But I couldn't find it & what little I remembered didn't sound like the same thing that EJ heard at all, so I did a google search.

This article pretty well covers the story I remember hearing. It even mentions the gated community bit, but by an Attorney General, not black activists. The laws aren't new either.

EJ, if you heard something different maybe you can go to NPR and point it out to us. A link to any other reputable news source with your facts will do as well.
