Right Idea, Wrong Questions


This WMC/5 news story points out that many are critical of the new developments happening on the former grounds of housing projects downtown. The reporter talks with the Mayor and some officials, but not with the folks doing the questioning, so the story is incomplete.

What should be asked of the these public housing rehabs is pretty simple: How many public housing units were there orginally? How many are there now? Are any of the new units non-public housing apartments? What was the old cost range for the units? What is the new cost range?

Ask those questions and I suspect you'll have your story.
