In the projects the more you make the more rent they charge, so how are you supposed to save money to get out of there?
That was the dilemma we had growing up, my mom worked and the more money she made the harder things got because rent goes up, health insurance is lost and food stamps removed and you end up just as poor and barely making it.
My mom worked very hard and finally made enough to buy a house, but it was very difficult for her.
I grew up in housing, and yes it breeds less responsible adults. I wish I had grown up in one of the mixed communities instead of the projects, I might have turned out better.
And to Rittergirl, no not all public housing people are lazy and have a lot of kids, but a lot of them are. There a reason for the stereotype, believe me I know.
