Opportunity or trap?

[undergroundpanther]

Class warfare is occurring on the transportation front.When gas gets too high people cannot move about freely.Those in suburbs will be stranded and the car industry and the mad zoning boards and Cull de sack town planners took that away from us..by building EVERYTHING around the CAR.
Shortsighted?

Do you think there will ever be a decent bus system in sprawl-land?

As gas goes up soon there will be a flight to cities,to where more work is accessible those who can't afford to move will be abandoned basically.
There was a push to move section 8 residents to the suburbs,
To make poor people move to places that are more expensive and nicer but also lacking good reliable public transportation.

>>In the end, nearly 25,000 African Americans in public housing were given a chance to live in largely white suburbs. The program reached its goal and was ended in 1998.<<

Was it an opportunity than ,a trap now???


I don't know how many poor people got relocated out in the suburbs,I do know the tech boom and well paying jobs that have since dried up or have been sent to other countries once enabled people that otherwise could not afford to live in the suburbs to move to"better" locations.

Will they be stranded in cull de sacs by zoning that makes everything too far away from everything else..when gas and cost of living they can't afford a long commute and work is scarce because there is less places to work in the suburbs, that is why people in the suburbs commute to the more urban places for work..

The poor who tried to "pull themselves up" who wound up out here chasing a 'better life' will they be stranded out here,soon as the car costs too much,there's no bus system or one that is not reliable..or connects to anything like a city,out here,and they cannot get work or get any job they could walk to?

I Guess it makes it easier for a police to round up the frustrated isolated poor people stuck in the sprawl who get desperate than face a well connected mob of poor folks fighting for their rights in a city cops having to focus on protecting where some wealthy areas are.

Programs encourage the city poor to move to suburbs
