Francis Menton, the Manhattan Contrarian, has been kicking around a idea so radical it might actually work: giving Manhattan public housing units to their residents to kickstart them out of poverty. What really caught my attention was this:
Well, what happened to the idea of making it possible for the poor to get out of poverty? The residents of Manhattan public housing are living, breathing human beings who deserve the opportunity to escape from poverty and achieve success in the world; they are not animals to be kept imprisoned in a zoo for the viewing pleasure of their superiors.
Tip from Menton himself, discussing Ben Carson, which came from a tip at Maggie’s Farm.
