If we only have responsibility for ourselves, then what do we do with these people? It is a nice idea to just be able to tell people how they should have just made better choices, but that doesn't change the fact that they are who they are? What is your suggestion? Hope they all turn to crime so they can get arrested and stop being an eyesore?

Actually, less public housing doesn't necessarily increase crime.

I would say that those people should not choose violence over applying themselves. A lot of the communities are destroying themselves from the inside because of the violence and drugs that creep into communities. Public housing communities had this problem big time. These communities need to prioritize education and self policing with a zero-tolerance policy for violence and drugs. And then they can make the right decisions consistently, eliminating this problem.

The solution isn't to impose some imaginary responsibility on others. People who buy the cheap property and move in to start businesses and growth aren't responsible for that mess.
