Stampede for public housing in Dallas

In the age of the internet, this is unbelievable…

I’m not sure what the purpose of this thread is but I suspect it is to denigrate the idea of people being helped by obtaining public assistance.
I don’t think it is right however to say they would all be spongers. There do exist even in affluent America people who simply don’t make enough money to get by in the same way as maybe you or I. I presume the Dallas authorities are doing this out of a desire to help the folks who are in need. One shouldn’t automatically assume this is some leftish plot or misuse of public funds.

Really? Is that the sound of someone jumping to conclusions?

Yes that was my conclusion. In other words Chip, that is what comes across to me. When we read something we think about what was written and why it was written and what is it trying to get across. I presume folk were meant to comment on the article which is what I was doing. You might disagree with me and perhaps I read its intentions wrongly but I am happy to acknowledge that . In your reply I notice that you didn’t mention what you thought the purpose of the article was.

Attempting to ascertain the intent behind postings is off topic and violates the CP. Filings are simply items of interest that have been submitted by users or chosen by the SI team.

I stand corrected…thank you Susan…I thought it was to elicit responses. Wholehearted apologies.
