Bobert:

I referred to an area near Rock Creek Park like Connecticut Avenue just west of Rock Creek Park where they have doormen. You jump on my ass and say there are bullets flying there and I don't know anything about DC.

You still have not explained what poor folks not being able to afford the average apartment means in the context of this thread. Evidently I have got you because you avoid answering and heap a bunch of names one me instead. You like to throw out these straw man statements and won't come back to defend them.

Sure poor people are forced to live in crime ridden, pimp infested, drug saturated, gang menaced neighborhoods. But who are these criminals? Is it Exxon or rich folks that make these areas so dangerous? It is people who turn to a life of crime rather than take on the difficult task of working for a living. Kids join gangs for a feeling of family that they don't get at home. This creates a cycle of poverty.

It makes me happy when I see a neighborhood banding together to fight crime. A group of citizens who realize that the Police cannot do it without the help and cooperation of the citizens. And then you see a kid wearing a no snitching T shirt, obviously for the sake of making a profit by selling a T shirt. Where are the parents of these kids? Don't they have a choice in what they allow their kids to do and what standards they set?

These are the roots of poverty that need to be defined and addressed. People need to be educated and enabled to stand on their own two feet at an early age. They need parental guidance. Can the government legislate parental responsibility? Can big corporations and rich folks buy it for them?
