Most programs to help the poor, end up making the rich richer. Every time I hear that the State and corporate developers are “revitalizing” an area, I notice that more people end up homeless.
Buildings chosen for renovation, with promises of “affordable housing” for the poor, mostly become luxury condos for the rich, that remain empty for the majority of the year. The few “affordable” units are anything but affordable, doing nothing to provide housing for the poor.
The whole revitalization scheme basically serves to enrich wealthy corporate developers (who, of course, went over their projected budgets at the expense of the taxpayers). The poor were either evicted, or saw their rents rise, in their “newly developed” neighborhood.
These “affordable” housing programs were never meant to help the poor. Who got richer and who ended up on someone’s sofa or in the street?
