social destruction brought about by the conditions w/in one of the most notorious of the high-rise complexes, built specifically for the poor, isolating them from neighborhoods they'd long inhabited. "Urban development" indeed follows a pattern, I saw it, personally, in Portland. The poor are displaced, often from single-family homes into large high density tracts--- it happened (still is...) all over urban America, from coast-to-coast.You seem a little touchy about the race thing--- kind of like the most famous of Mississippians: ""If it came to fighting, I'd fight for Mississippi against the United States even if it meant going out in the streets and shooting Negroes. After all, I'm not going out to shoot Mississippians." "William Faulkner
