Talk:Belair-Edison, Baltimore

message: In the "Decline" section of this article the contributor speaks only from his or her own opinion and not from facts. This quote: 
Belair-Edison is a prime example of failed government relocation programs.
is completely baseless as it doesn't back up the writer's assessment in any way. This is not what one would call a neutral point of view.  This person states that Belair-Edison is a "prime example of failed government relocation" but then fails to mention how.  He or she simply tells us what these relocation programs are like and forgets to explain how they affected Belair-Edison.  While this contributor does reference an article in the Baltimore City Paper regarding Kurt Schmoke's political career, nothing in this reference directly discusses matters in Belair-Edison.  
He or she also states that: 
...many once thriving local parochial schools closed down.
This is a serious over statement since the contributor only references one school closing. If the influx of "low-income" people from a "fail(ed) government relocation program" was the cause of the Shrine of the Little Flower to close, then why are there still 3 thriving parochial schools in the area?  This is simply a result of declining enrollment at Catholic schools nationwide.  This argument is baseless.
There are also racist undertones in the contributor's writing.  In this particular sentence 
The Mayor should not be held solely at fault however, Thompson v. HUD (1994)[8] essentially forced the government to forcefully integrate the neighborhood which failed miserably as the area is now predominantly black.
the writer makes it seem as if Thompson v. HUD was bad.  The basic gist of Thompson v. HUD was that the courts told HUD that they couldn't segregate their tenants based on race or income.  Anyone who is against that only makes themselves sound foolish and racist.
The only thing I agree with this contributor is on their reference to Gary Waicker and his terrible investment schemes.

message: First of the section reads like some one opinion, and is based on an artile in the The Sun, listed in the external links, that really has not much to do with what is being said in the artile. The section tries to apply issues in the article to a hardly related court case in regards to public housing in Baltimore. Either way the toen in the section needs to be reworked to less of a op-ed and more plus better sitations should be included. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 04:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
