That is exactly what they are doing in Louisville... they are tearing down the
Black Democrat stronghold housing projects and moving them to predominantly
white republican areas like PRP, Valley Station and Fairdale.

I don't want to sound racist but they seem to be taking the concentrated base
that votes democrat and are engineering new "scattered housing" areas where you
don't know which house someone paid full price and which house is "subsidised"
to get them into home ownership or it's a HUD owned secion 8 rental.  

There are many of these "neighborhoods" popping up in the burbs.  

And now they are trying to eliminate busing and have neighborhood schools in
our state.  Which is aimed totally at Louisville where the average student
rides an hour or more every day on the bus just to get to school all for
"diversity" reasons.

But the sword cuts both ways... they want to build a low income high density
housing building in Prospect which is a "Rich white democrat" section and they
are resisitng it because they feel it is not a good fit for their neighborhood.

I've seen the plans on that building and it's nice... it's for low income
senior citizens.  Excuses they are giving is the building won't have enough
parking... yet similar buildings in downtown Louisville have less parking that
it will have and more housing units in the towers (think Dosker Manor).  Most
of the low income seniors can't drive.

Amazingly this area in Prospect is near a neighborhood called "norton commons"
which was built to have pedestrians in mind.  There are plenty of grocery
stores and other retail where the seniors can safely walk or ride their
scooters too.  Sadly the high density senior housing in Downtown no longer has
a grocery store they can walk to.

And don't get me started on the Veterans Hospital controversy.  The VA
purchased land in the Rich "east end" and they don't want it there either.
