The problem with public housing is that the
residents are not the owners. The people who live in there did not earn
the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers.
The residents therefore do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes from the hard work necessary for home ownership.
In fact, the opposite occurs. The residents resent their benefactors because the house is a constant reminder
that they did not earn the right to live in it.
They do not appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any way.
The result is the same whether the dwelling is a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques.
If the people who live there know they do not deserve to do so, they will make this known through their actions.
The pictures below illustrate the point:
The Resolute Desk was built from the timbers of
the HMS Resolute.
It was a gift from Queen Victoria to
President Rutherford B. Hayes.
It is a national treasure and an icon of the presidency.
Mr. Obama, you are not in a hut in Kenya or Indonesia,
or public housing in Chicago.
With all due respect, get your ******* feet off OUR desk!
