But, please enlighten us dimwits with your vast knowledge of social engineering.

Your assignment is to produce evidence that supports your claim that throwing money at a ghetto area safer & better to live.

To distill the task into simpler terms, name one "urban area" that has been rescued by rich people's money.

Social engineering doesnt not compute.....

Still no reply Oaf? Tax money from rich people DOES help poor people...if the EPA example isn't enough...how about Hunter's Point in SF...or Watts...they're all getting better because they get money from the governments (derived from taxes) to help the situation.

Sorry for the delay...I was busy making money.

I'll give an B for effort, but a D for content.

EPA recieved few grants totaling a few million dollars.
Most of the money came from declaring EPA an Special Economic Area, meaning that the gov't lured business by giving special incentives, such as tax breaks, lower interest rates, etc. End reasult: rich business owners & investors paid less.
Read here.

The city also raised property tax, which was later declared illegal. Read here.

I'd post more, but I hear some more $$ calling.

...I think you proved my point, and then changed the subject with the illegal prop tax increase...they got money in grants (which the gov't got from tax payers), and the city used it to do whatever they had to do (lure businesses, whatever else) and made the area nicer. Good link, I hadn't heard about the illegality of the tax hike over there, but it doesn't really have much to do with the fact that the gov't gave EPA money and the city got safer/nicer. Either way, I'll give you a B- for effort and a C- for content hehehe
