Did you read the article. Minneapolis, for close to 50 years, has been an example of how to do low income housing better than everyone else. Policy within the last decade has eroded this gain. It has gotten worse since these policies have rolled back.

Is it perfect? No. Does low income housing alone prevent police from fracturing families and communities by enforcing drug law? No.

And standards of living going backward are (rightfully) a great way to piss people off and make them willing to riot at the drop of a hat.
