Here we go again racing to the bottom. First, why would anyone think it's a good idea to put poor people in an area that demands a car? It's 25 miles one way to decent shopping, a hospital, any higher education centers, or any significant commerce. Second, I worked my ass off to get out of the trailer park I grew up in. Why in the hell would I work my way to the top just to go back to the bottom? I worked hard so I don't have to worry about trailer park drama. Who's slinging? Who's baby is that? Who's beating who? Where'd you get that car? I don't owe the guy brewing my coffee anything. He or she can decide not to drop so many babies so early and go to school or get off their ass and get a skill that's in demand. As for background checks? That only shows what they got caught doing. Don't delude yourself into believing it's useful to prove much beyond that. It's damn sure not an effective screen for criminiality and is not a predictive tool other than indicating the obvious...if it walks like a duck, it quacks... CH is on it's way down. Thank God I can move out in the next couple of years. One final thought, why are we always focusing on the liabilities to the community? How about an argument to get some nice high end stuff? Move beyond fast food, funeral homes, liquor stores, banks, etc? Obviously, the argument that if we don't build nice things it won't attract the wrong attention is a big fat fail. The only thing building low income stuff will do for sure is light a fire under me with my 6 digit income, graduate degree, and stable 20 + year marriage to get the hell out of CH faster. From discussions off this board with others, I won't be alone. Good luck with your tax base!
